I bought a CC3000 Wifi Shield from Sparkfun and attached it to Arduino Uno board.
As first thing I tested the board with the board test example:
SparkFun CC3000 - Board Test
CC3000 initialization complete
Firmware version: 1.24
MAC address: 70:FF:76:01:30:1E
Finished board test
Then I scanned the networks:
SparkFun CC3000 - Scan Test
CC3000 initialization complete
Scanning APs. Waiting for scan to complete.
Access Points found:
SSID: dnhm MAC address: 20:AA:4B:08:AA:CC RSSI: 58 Security: WPA2
SSID: dnhm-guest MAC address: 20:AA:4B:08:AA:CE RSSI: 58 Security: Unsecured
Finished scan test
I set the SSID and the password and tried to connect:
SparkFun CC3000 - Connection Test
CC3000 initialization complete
Connecting to: dnhm
Error: Could not connect to AP
Error: Could not obtain connection details
Error: Could not disconnect from network Finished connection test
SparkFun CC3000 - Connection Test
CC3000 initialization complete Connecting to: dnhm-guest
Error: Could not connect to AP
Error: Could not obtain connection details
Error: Could not disconnect from network
Finished connection test
It did not connect none of the available connections, I reserved an IP address on the router for the mac address, but nothing changed.
I turned on logs on the router (Linksys e2500) and nothing appeared in logs as if the device never tried to connect. (I can see relevant logs when I re-connect with my notebook)
I use wpa2 so I kept the security setting as it is. I also have a 5ghz SSID and it does not show up in the scan. So I did not try to connect to it.
I also tried the smart config example with my ipad and it did not work either, the output:
SparkFun CC3000 - SmartConfig
CC3000 initialization complete
Starting SmartConfig
Send connection details from app now!
Waiting to connect…
Error: Could not connect with SmartConfig
Error: Could not obtain connection details
Looking up IP address of: www.sparkfun.com
Error: Could not lookup host by name
Pinging 0.0.0.0 3 times…
Error: no ping response
Error: Could not disconnect from network
Finished SmartConfig test
Obviously the board works (It can scan/find the networks), but cant connect them. What should I do as next step to troubleshoot the issue?
Here is the sample I used for connection testing: (I double checked the protocol from router's wifi settings to make sure I'm using the correct one)

Connects to the access point given by the SSID and password and
waits for a DHCP-assigned IP address. To use a static IP
address, change the #define USE_DHCP from 1 to 0 and assign an
IP address to static_ip_addr in the Constants section.
NOTE: Static IP is not working at this time.
The security mode is defined by one of the following:
WLAN_SEC_UNSEC, WLAN_SEC_WEP, WLAN_SEC_WPA, WLAN_SEC_WPA2
Hardware Connections:
Uno Pin CC3000 Board Function
+5V VCC or +5V 5V
GND GND GND
2 INT Interrupt
7 EN WiFi Enable
10 CS SPI Chip Select
11 MOSI SPI MOSI
12 MISO SPI MISO
13 SCK SPI Clock
Resources:
Include SPI.h and SFE_CC3000.h
Development environment specifics:
Written in Arduino 1.0.5
Tested with Arduino UNO R3
