Hi @FredEBear - If you see Pixelblaze\_68968D listed in your available WiFi networks, that means the Pixelblaze is in AP mode (or the initial setup mode). The discovery service only works to help discover a Pixelblaze that’s connected in client mode to a wireless network that has access to the internet. To get client mode working again, we’ll need to get you past the spinning cube and into a WiFi setup screen. It looks like [you’ve already explored some of the best ways to do](https://forum.electromage.com/t/stuck-on-spinning-cube-loading-screen/2109/13) this with other people trying to help. From re-reading that thread, it looks like the collective wisdom is: - Have a stable wifi connection between computer and Pixelblaze - The computer and pixelblaze need to be physically close. Your WiFi router doesn’t matter for this part. - Have the Pixelblaze out of any enclosure - Verify a clean 5VDC supply power. Disconnecting LEDs and powering then by the micro USB is usually a good way. - Reset the Pixelblaze into WiFi Setup mode by holding the button for 5 seconds while powered. - Being patient, wait for the open Pixelblaze\_XXXXXX network to appear. You must connect to it. - If it doesn’t open the page automatically, manually go to [http://192.168.4.1](http://192.168.4.1) - At this point, if stuck on the rotating cube, try loading [http://192.168.4.1/?setup](http://192.168.4.1/?setup) or [http://192.168.4.1/recovery.html](http://192.168.4.1/recovery.html) to reload or update firmware. - Once you are able to connect to the setup screens, be sure the Discovery service is enabled, and be sure you’re running the latest firmware. It’s been a while now, but much older firmware had more wifi hiccup issues. Hope this helps! --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.electromage.com/t/pixelblaze-no-longer-recognized-by-discovery-service/2203)._
