I had high hopes for this device. Had been using a couple of smart outlet strips that I think take care of most of what I need, but I had been ramping up to an automates system - where all testing would be taken care of on a daily basis with GHL products because having used Neptune devices when they first came out and were affordable... and seeing the dramatic price increases and the hideousness factor also increase dramatically, wanted to go with something else. (can my frustration be sensed?).
Anyhow, it seems a lot of people have similar issues - can't connect to the internet. Can't connect to the GHL internal hotspot, because it is not transmitting, and GET THIS - can't connect via GHL Control software via USB because they don't have a version compatible with the firmware mine shipped with (1.12) - all of the GHL control software only supports Mini Wifi up to 1.11. NO GHHDEV wireless signal after seeing it for like 14 seconds the first time I attempted to connect. It disappeared, and no amount of unplugging and plugging it back in has ever seen it show back up. I have checked on an android tablet, my android phone, a windows 9 machine and my windows 7 laptop - none of my wireless network adapters ever sees the GHLDEV wifi signal.
It seems that in this day and age where I can buy a Chinese wifi smart outlet strip for less thant 30 bucks and it works flawlessly right out of the box after a literally 3 minute set up, that something I spent 400 bucks on could at least be a BIT more user friendly.
I am FRUSTRATED.

Someone from GHL, please tell me what secret handshake I need to use to get this thing to work.
