    All this is very nice, but it doesn’t give you a step by step of how to register your weather station with WeatherUnderGround. I got to the point where it has given me a ID and Key, but I don’t have a clue what to do with them????

    Just because I am going thru the same thing. I do know you have to go into the Logia router and enter that Key info that you were given (which is a pain) you have to make sure your weather station is in the AP mode in order to do that. I did that today and it is still showing offline…but saw it says it could take a couple of days…so I will see what a couple of days brings me.

    Connecting to Weather Underground:
    I’m still not connected. Been trying for 3 weeks, with help from Ambient.
    It’s likely that there is one thing I’m missing or doing incorrectly, but until I see what that is…
    Has anyone learned the procedures (step-by-step) to make it happen?
    It shouldn’t be this hard to make this connection.
    Thanks.

    Got my WS-2902D installed, operating, sending data to Ambient Weather Network, but cannot get it to go “online” with Weather Underground. Station ID and password both correct, it has been receiving data 3 days now, it just won’t go ‘online’ What’s is the problem, and why do so many people have this same issue?

    I have registered my device but it is showing ‘offline’. I can access information remotely with Ecowitt, so I need help to get ‘online’ with Wunderground.

    WHY is it so difficult to get connected to WU? Has anyone on this thread been able to get connected?

    As requested above, step by step instructions would be helpful. Like others, my info was put in correctly, yet I remain offline after 5 days.

    My WS2000 Will not connect to Weather Underground but does connect to Ambient Weather. I have my Stations ID and key but there is no information to connect it on the website using the CUSTOMIZE screen on the device. I DO NO HAVE A CELL PHONE so I can’t use that method. Weather Underground not answering MANY request for help where I have even included screen shots of my location KCTMERID131 and also a screen shot of my key information. I am trying to find a phone number for technical support at Weather Underground. My WS1001 connected fine. I had to replace it because the nee COX modems would not connect to the WIFI on the WS1001, but they DO connect to the WIFI on the WS2000 in fact I am on Ambient WX but just can not connect to Weather Underground.
