Trying To Connect 3D Printer
 
I am trying to connect my 3D printer to WiFi - which consistently fails. The printer works fine with an Ethernet connection - but it just won't connect using WiFi.

Printer type: Flashforge Creator 3.

I am using a very simple text password so there are no complex characters.

What I could really do with is an explanation of the failure. With the old hub it was possible to read the log file - but no such option is available for the new hub 4. Nor is there an option to back up the hub.

Does it use older protocols or security that may need to be activated on the HUB?

Nothing mentioned in the specs - they just say connect printer to wifi without advising any particular requirements.

Try to get the printer and hub to forget each other, then try again.

Have you contacted the manufacturer? bit of a specialist question to ask here tbh

That was the first port of call. They weren't very helpful - asking me to configure the printer as a server where it would be detached from my wifi network. That would prevent the printer being driven from their cloud network.
