Maybe show some screenshots of the Falcon webpages.  Also just to clarify you are using the Test mode in the controller and not xLights right?

If you can run a Test mode on the controller it will prove that side of things.  Stepping back to xlights a lot more things can go wrong along the way.  Gotta have output to lights on.  Gotta make sure your data is not transmitting out a wireless adapter when you expect is out a wired adapter.  Look at the Falcon status page when you believe you are sending data and see if the packet counts increment.

6.0 Run/Test Mode
The controller has two modes of operation, run and test. After the controller boots up it will be in the run mode as and the second LED will be lit. In order to toggle to test mode hold the boot button for one second or longer. The controller will toggle to test mode and the third LED will light. To go back to run mode press and hold the boot again.

(alternately, to return to Run mode, remove power, count to 10, plug back in)
