Arduino 2.1 DFRobot wifi shield error

This isn't the same wifi shield in the sticky
it is [url=http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=ardunio]http://www.dfrobot.com/index.php?route=product/product&filter_name=ardunio[/url] wifi&product_id=548
When i use the WizSmartScript it gives me AT command error when looking for the device.
So I found the tutorial to using putty with it and AT+NSET command is invaild, so I can't set an IP.
I am very very confused and really want to get this wifi shield working. Please help me.

2012-01-18 00:49:15 thanks I got the email and when we find a solution I will post it here. Will probably be quicker to solve via email.

Sorry it has taken me some time to respond. There is lots of requests these days.
Could you please explain how you are connecting to the Wifi Shield? Do you use Putty? and RAW?
When you say it disconnects instantly when you unplug the USB, from what program does this happen?

2012-01-17 19:52:38 Okay I am totally stumped at the moment, must be missing something simple.
I really want to get this going cause it is my missing link to control my robot via ipad! So willing to listen to any ideas or people who have successfully got this running.

2012-01-16 23:16:06 i plan too, but I haven't got it working it yet!(although i am frustratingly close!) I think it would be popular cause there is very little information on wifi with arduino.
I have the data sheet, that is where i have been getting all the AT commands from.
I am supplying with a 9 volt battery on a clip. I was concerned it wasn't getting enough juice, so I used a mains 9 volt power supply to check and same result.
I didn't mean a list of AT commands, but all the current settings. I found the AT command to reset to factory.
As far as i can tell it should connect without the USB, and I don't understand why the USB is helping it connect (because the second i put the USB in it connects).

2012-01-16 22:26:07 Hi,
Have you taken a look at the Wifi module's [url=https://www.dfrobot.com/image/data/TEL0047/WizFi210%20datasheet%20V101.pdf]data sheet[/url]? It should have all the AT commands in there.
When not connected via USB, how are you supplying power? You should at least be supplying 6Vdc or 7Vdc to the Arduino.
It would be great if you made a youtube tutorial! Post it back here if you do decide to make it.

2012-01-16 19:46:59 Indeed it was the baud rate! I had just come to post the solution.
It seems to be working and I can switch the led on and off on the arduino.
However I have a new issue. The wifi only connects if i have the USB plugged in. I can't figure why this is happening. I have i set the WAUTO and ATC1 so it should.
It insta connects when I put the USB in.
When I finally get this going I might make a youtube tutorial, cause it definitly takes some patience to get it up and understand what is going on. On the bright side I am learning what all the AT commands do.
Also i don't know if the issues are related, but the reset button doesn't appear to work.
Is there a way I can see all AT setting on the board?

2012-01-16 19:19:42 Hi Destined,
Are you using the same baud rate as the wifi shield? Once your wifi shield is working, try uploading a program to the Arduino where it repeatedly outputs a string "hello" will do. You could also make it wait for an input from you to light an LED to get visual confirmation that its receiving data. Through out all of this you should make sure you are using the same baud rate as the Wifi shield...

2012-01-16 16:18:37 Also what is the data/prog switch do?
What do I need to do to set it into "data" mode instead of AT command mode.
Currently if i hook it up and send it numbers I get jibberish like
ð0â<ó°?0°<Ù?¼
I guess it is good it is communicating, but bad it isn't sending what i want.

2012-01-16 03:50:41 Okay, well I battled through and I now have connected and can see it on my router. I can also ping it.
However I can't connect to it via putty or in processing.
What do i need to do the settings to allow me to connect to it?
Actually it is connecting, but it isn't receiving the serial messages from the arduino :(
