Exclamation 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.

Re: Trying To Connect 3D Printer

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

Re: Trying To Connect 3D Printer

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

Re: Trying To Connect 3D Printer

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

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.
