I updated my E2 and it shows my wireless connection and CCR on the E2, however, the E2 sends the following message "Unable to connect to your wireless access point, please make sure your wireless ... is activiated...'


I spoke with my AT&T CSR and asked him to change my router from WPE to WPA... while on the phone with CSR, I closed down both CCR and E2 and then activated both. My E2 still sent the same error message. He suggested I contact PC which I will do Monday.

At least I'm halfway there lol. The E2 is up-to-date, CCR is showing on the screen, & the E2 is reading my Wireless number. I'll see what happens Monday.

Once it is fixed I'm sure I will love using CCR. In the meatime, I'll continue to use my Gypsy.

I thought the wireless was updating the E2 automatically? I am on build 43 and when I go to update my e2 without it being connected to my computer, it says it is up todate? I am now trying to update my e2 to be build 65 using cricut sync and it says connecting to device for the last 5 minutes. Why isn't the wireless updating my E2 automatically? I thought that was what it was advertised on HSN to do? Jinger said herself, your machince will always be up todate with the wireless feature.

So you did go to settings on the E2 and scroll down to the CCR icon and entered the information?

Yes. Per your wonderful instructions, I updated the E2, went into the tools feature scrolled selected my wireless key, and then 'bingo, noticed CCR was listed. Went into CCR entered my login information and now both are showing on the main screen.

Just think it is odd that AT&T, my ISProvider, couldn't help me with the access point. I really don't think this will be a PC issue & will probably have to contact AT&T again. I'll keep you posted on how this issue is resolved.

Hi, Mercy. Aren't u tired of hearing from me? :) I had found that link and already tried downloading it, but when it starts to sync, it says that the cricut is not attached to the computer or turned on - which it is connected and is turned on.

[quote=mercy;1208229]Firmware 43 allowed you to use your wifi adapter and firmware 65 allowed you to cut wirelessly from CCR. Many had issues with firmware 43 not allowing the adapter to be used without changing their settings or calling their ISP. /quote]


Even after the firmware 65, it is requiring I change my settings. Is there a workaround for this?? I have 10+ wireless devices (2 ipods, 5 computers, 2 printers, 2 blue ray players, wii) all using the current settings. Whenever I change the settings on my router everything (including the internet) goes out. I cannot understand why PC would release a product that does not utilize standard settings..

Hi Mercy, I never attempted to update CCR wirelessly & always use the cable. Anyway, per your note, I went to install E2 drivers (again) and the CCR returned the following message"E2 drivers already installed'. So that is not the problem.

In addition to not being able to cut wirelessly, I cannot cut with the cable attached???? I'm so annoyed you have no idea. How I wish we had 60 days to return the E2 to HSN I would send it back so fast. As I mentioned in another post, after 30 seconds of cutting via cable, CCR shuts down & sends a message there is an error.

So I paid over $300.00 for a machine I cannot use. It does nothing it claimed it would do. Today I went into the CCR & my images were placed on the same mat. CCR never asked if I wanted the image on the current mat or new mat. What the heck is going on.

You know I have about 6 products that we use wirelessly every day with noooooooooo problem. Setting up each product was a snap. The more I think about it, I don't understand why the E2 cannot find the 'access point' to cut wirelessly. If I don't get results tomorrow when i call PC, meaning if this machine isn't working the way it should when I get off the phone with the CSR, I'm going to demand my money back from PC or sue them. Enough is enough of their inconsiderate way of dealing with their customers. I've spent too much of my hard earned money for this nonsense.

AND, because I updated my E and G to use CCR my Expression no longer works and my Gypsy is on the blink. All I'm left with is my G to work with which no longer 'welds' images. grrrrrrrrr. With all these issues I guess I'll be on the phone with PC all day tomorrow.

I really was so excited about the E2 & CCR. Oh well.

Hi, Mercy. My desktop computer is new - am using Windows XP Pro. When I connect the Cricut, I do hear a ping, but according to my computer screen, the cricut is either not on or not connected. When I connected the 2 initially, it did recognize the cricut was connected. In trying to figure out why I couldn't get the E2 to update wirelessly, I uninstalled CCR (after I had connected the E2 to my computer for the first time) and probably deleted E2 drivers that I shouldn't have during the CCR unintallation process - which is most likely why I didn't have Cricut Sync on my desktop. I thought by going to the link that you sent me that I could download them again....but the computer now won't recognize the connection....is there something else that I should re-download to try and get this working because now, I can't cut in CCR even with the cables. I guess a little (emphasis on LITTLE) bit of knowledge can be dangerous. I should have never uninstalled the CCR.....because I remember Imagine files being uninstalled as well - which was strange, because I don't have an Imagine....have I TOTALLY screwed up my E2? I was impatient and didn't want to wait for Monday to contact PC....and ended up spending over 6 hours trying to get it working and I ended up messing things up big time....help!!

Thanks, Char. I will try that. If for some reason Adobe Air is not there, where do I go to download it? (And thank you Mercy for answering all of my posts....I am determined to get this thing working TODAY!!!) In addition to being new to CCR and I am a totally GREEN Cricut user, as I just got one as an early Christmas present - so I am TOTALLY new at ALL of this....hence a million questions. You know when there's so much you don't know - that you don't even know that you don't know it???? That's me...lol. Again, thank you all for trying to help me - it is very much appreciated.

I have the expression, not expression 2, will this work on the expression?

Thanks for the information - I will follow your suggestions and let you know how it all turns out. Have a great day!

PC would like to know the following from anyone who has the below message. Is this an ongoing problem? Does it happen sometimes or all the time? What is your CCR version and the Firmware of the E2 you are using?

"Wireless Error

The wireless device is busy. Please, try again."

Thanks as I sent the information to PC!

I have been doing a little research on my own.

I HAVE A WIRELESS INTERNET CONNECTION FOR MY LAPTOP--IT USES LINKSKYS (WHICH I THINK IS SECURE; DON'T KNOW IF IT IS WPA OR WPE.

However, if I need to set up a different connection (e.g., for CCR), I have to set up another connection in my computer.

What I am learning is, you can't have the two working very closely together. They will interfere with each other. If you are not using both at the same time, I can't see where they could interfere. But, let's say you are using your wireless laptop along with wireless CCR and they are using different settings, I don't think it will work for you. CAN ANYONE REFUTE THIS or help with the statement. Just trying to interject something that might help others.

If you do not have any kind of WIRELESS connection other than what you are setting up for CCR, then you might be able to set it up yourself by going to:

START/Control Panel/in Control Panel you will see the WIRELESS ICON--double click or right click to OPEN. There you will be able to enter data you need to select what you need for your wireless connection. It won't hurt to look at this; to me, it's pretty straightforward what the instructions are to set up your WIRELESS CONNECTION to CCR.

Maybe you have all tried this; it might be worth a try if you haven't. You might not have to wait for PC to help you.

I'M NOT CERTIFIED IN ANYTHING, so please don't take everything I say for GOSPEL. I'm not afraid to try things in my computer; I'm only making a suggestion that might be helpful to those brave enough to try.

Scrappygal - I may have answered you on another post in another forum, but can you go to START/Control Panel/look for your WiFi Icon and click on it to open it? There, you might be able to get the information in that you need for your computer to recognize your new connection.
