Hi folks,
I have problem with Dahua IPC-HFW2325S-W, camera works great on LAN cable but i can't find wifi around, 2.4 or 5.0GHz no change. Also i try manually set wifi and at all set default settings - no change, try to find firmware for this model on official site but again no sucess. Any one have correct firmware for this model or any idea is welcome!

Did you make an earlier post about a Dahua IPC- HFW1320S-W with the same issue?
You did click on "Search SSID" button, right?

Yes i have dual 2,4 + GHz, but can find any wifi, from neighborhood also. Try to flash firmware but there no any changes. I think wifi module is dead, no more try im allready buy new camera.
 
Try to run api command:

curl -g --digest -u "<user>:<pass>" "http://<ipaddr>/cgi-bin/wlan.cgi?action=scanWlanDevices"

or go to link http://<ipaddr>/cgi-bin/wlan.cgi?action=scanWlanDevices and see if it returns anything.

Where i can type this command, how?
Open a browser and type in the URL as below, put in your camera's IP address where it has <ipaddr> and hit <enter>. Works great with both of my wired/wireless Amcrest (Dahua OEM) IP2M-841's, I am using Brave, a Chromium-based browser like Edge or Chrome. You'll be asked for the camera's username and password.:

Code:
http://<ipaddr>/cgi-bin/wlan.cgi?action=scanWlanDevices

You can also include the username/password in the URL, such as :

Code:
http://username:password@<ipaddr>/cgi-bin/wlan.cgi?action=scanWlanDevices
 
I try comannd buy says: found=0
Looks like wifi module is dead.
I assume there is an antenna attached and if so, since it shows "enabled" in your first post and "found=0" is the response you get I'd agree that the wireless module is dead. :confused:

EDITED @ 1502 CDT 11/20/25: As a last ditch effort and if you're up to it, open the camera and make sure that the antenna is connected at its base inside and the other end to a PCB/wireless module. It may have come loose if the threaded part got spun around due to a loose nut OR the delicate snap-on connector became detached at the wireless module.
