I searched around and saw some similar reddit posts here so I'm hoping this is my best shot to post it here as well.
I have an old wireless pro that I havent used in a long time, so I swapped the hard drive in it and the wireless functionality seems like it has disappeared. The blinking leds indicates that the device boots and goes solid meaning it's broadcasting wifi, but I don't see anything to connect to.
It works when plugged via usb with no issues.
I tried 'updating' the firmware and resetting it, and i think it went thru, but still nothing. The last time I used it, I remember doing something similar and got to a point where i was able to see the wifi but never connected to it (didnt know the password was SN as a youtube guide said it was the ID of the hdd).
Old hardware and don't really expect a hard answer, but any ideas are welcomed.
