I'm having an issue connecting the 700 to my network. I've spoke with RT and they've given me a workaround, but I want to solve the problem. I have a Linksys WRT3200ACM router with dd-wrt firmware. I have it configured to use my vpn through openVPN. My ssid is not broadcast and I have created a virtual access point for guest access. The guest account is broadcast because the app won't let me choose a hidden network.
With this set up, the grill will not connect. It can see the network but always fails to connect. It will connect to my phone when it's a hotspot. I've only tested this with open security and a basic password (no special characters). Has anyone else had this problem and solved it? One thing I question is the security of the network. I use WPA2 on my network but on the app I'm not given the option to choose the security type. I also wonder if special characters in the password make any difference. There's something small in the set up it doesn't like.
