5.0.0 and slicer 261 config update loses wifi file transfer feature

Hi,

I just updated to 5.0.0 (thanks for all the work) and have 'lost' the wifi upload feature in slicer 2.6.1 with the IS configuration for the Mk4. 2.6.1 was ok before the IS update. Tried rebooting both printer and close/reopen slicer. Do I need to run through wifi config again please? My network connection to the printer is ok.

Cheers, Andy

Did you add the PrusaLink IP & credentials into the IS profile?

As far as PrusaSlicer is concerned each profile is a completely different printer.

Wi-Fi module on my MK4 doesn't want to stay on since the update. When i power off the machine and power it back on i see the wifi icon show on the screen for a second then go away. I've double checked that wifi is defualt. I've have ran Setup Wi-fi Module and Load Credentials multiple times. Still can't get the wifi to stay on.

I've now done a factory reset, been through all the self tests and the final screen shows wi-fi not connected. Then i go and setup the wi-fi. It does the firmware update and loads the credentials but the wi-fi never comes on. The wi-fi icon flashed for a second then goes away. Something about the new firmware is blocking the use of wi-fi.

Many thanks @jmck - I hadn't realised I needed to add the credentials. All working now.

Cheers, Andy
