Hello,
First of all, this post is not to provide an open issue, but I propose a solution for a known error. My problem is exactly the same problem described at https://www.ghielectronics.com/community/forum/topic?id=9995,
and there is a same error code (7).

[em]Using mainboard GHI Electronics FEZSpider version 1.0
RS9110 firmware version Number is 4.4.5
RS9110 driver version Number is 4.4.5

Exception System.Exception - 0x00000000 (1)

In this post the author has found a solution by the following way:

Update, I was actually able to successfully “Join” after changing my wireless router to use WPA for wireless security, instead of WEP.

My router is a D-Link (DI-624)[/em]

My problem comes from wireless router security. My solution is to change my wireless router to WPA(AES/CCMP) instead of WPA(TKIP/AES).
My Router is FreeBox V6, Im from PARIS.

Hope my help for everyone.

Best regards,

@ GHI: I think it would be helpfull to add the supported and verified methods to the documentation on:

[EDIT] and the WPA2 findings on:
