In troubleshooting, I try taking out the em12-g and plugging into a windows computer to flash the firmware. Firmware upgrade was successfully. I have also try the em12-g in a TP-Link TL1023nd. Getting the same result, "TIMEOUT ERROR".

Please help. Thanks!

Reflash the router firmware, maybe get a latest firmware image for the router. Flash it 3x in a row without saving or reloading your settings. Manually reenter them after you reflash the router the last time.

Also check to see if you can send AT commands to it in your PC.

Is odd though that you got it to do the same in both routers.

Just a follow up on this. I gave up and bought a Dell DW5811E / EM7455 to replace the em12-g. It is not as fast but but cost a lot less and works perfectly with my existing setup.
