Maestro wont connect via cable

My Maestro has decided that it will not connect via the cat5 cable... the wifi in the shack is very poor although the rig is only three feet from the router and everything else connects fine...I have the cable plugged in but the Maestro does not give any option to choose the cable and goes to the wifi which cannot hold the connection and drops out.... sometimes there is a note at the bottom of the screen while booting that says it is connected to both and it first comes on via cable then immediately goes to wifi...any ideas???

    You might try... goto Menu>network>Wifi setting.. Select the wifi network and then chose Forget instead of connect.. Then goto radio ( upper right corner) and continue..

    Poor wifi has nothing to do with being close or far from the router sadly.  There is lots of discussion on the forums regarding that.

    This is the only thing that works for me as well until a new version of the software gives as a bit more control.

    K0VM is correct this is the solution.  Forget the wifi connection then you should be able to connect via LAN.

    I would love to but I can't get to stop connecting to the wifi.... I have pulled the battery but it still connects to wifi even though the cable is plugged in

    do you have an open network with no password?  in any case you need to follow K0VM's instruction to forget the network.  make sure you have a link light when you plug maestro in. If no link light you may have a hardware issue with your LAN.

    I have traded the connection with other devices and they work fine... There is something amiss with the Maestro as it shows the wifi logo as soon as it is on sonetimes will say connected to both and then flip to wifi as don as the rig is running
