This is probably a USB drivers problem:

  • Particle.io Electron board is in DFU mode (shows blinking yellow LED)
  • USB connection to Win7

  • particle tool does not see Electron, even after unplugging and re-plugging in the device's USB cable. Reports the following:

    $ particle update

    !!! I was unable to detect any devices in DFU mode...

    Your device will blink yellow when in DFU mode. If your device is not blinking yellow, please:

    1) Press and hold both the RESET/RST and MODE/SETUP buttons simultaneously.

    2) Release only the RESET/RST button while continuing to hold the MODE/SETUP but ton.

    3) Release the MODE/SETUP button once the device begins to blink yellow.

Basically the particle Electron 2G should be free from any network restrictions. If it doesn't work in safe mode then completely reset the device --> put the device in safe mode -->then back to DFU mode by installing the driver and continue your work. Use particle workbench for feasibility and a better understanding of device connectivity.
