hooking my printer up to wi-fi
I know this has probably been discussed a bunch of times but nothing is showing up when I search.
I've been trying to hook mine up to my wi-fi since I bought the printer.
I've followed the process for hooking it up via prusa slicer and when I go to the step to get the IPv4 address I get n/a.
I have no desire to use prusa connect as I won't be printing things from some far off land.
Is there a work around for this?

Have you gone through the steps to generate the wifi security file then edited it to be your access info?

It works, so I would suggest you get on the chat with Prusa Support and have them walk you through the process step by step.

This is one of my concerns about buying the MK4. With my MK3S, I have to use a SD card inserted into the printer because I didn't install a Raspberry Pi. With the MK4, I want to print directly from my computer.

Exactly what I do everyday

Thanks JP.
RE: hooking my printer up to wi-fi
yes a few times. I enter the info, put the thumb drive in the printer and up date credentials. When this is happening I get the wifi icon in the top left corner of the screen but when it finish the steps it's gone.

You do have history 😉
RE: hooking my printer up to wi-fi
pretty sure I warned everyone.. 😜
I discovered the issue too I think. I'm printing right now so I can check but..my network connection has 3 words and a series of #'s in it. reading thru the academy course I signed up for it states no spaces in the ssid info,
I've been writing it like it is on my pc.

My ssid has spaces and I'm pretty sure I just entered as is.
RE: hooking my printer up to wi-fi
tried it with no spaces and didn't work. off to tech support I go.

RE: hooking my printer up to wi-fi
Well I spent an hour or so with tech support. tried a bunch of things including using my phone as a hot spot and it wouldn't connect to that either.
They are sending me a new wifi module to try.
You can't get better customer service than that.
If you're reading this Robby..thanks again. 🙂
