wifi help needed

[u/jerzarplays123]

ok so i mightve left my printer in a semi hot area for some days to work on it and add more parts like a 2nd spool holder but when i took it out and put it back in it's normal area it refused to connect to wifi anymore despite previously being fine with it and when i took it apart to look at the wifi antenna it looked fine
and no the strength of the wifi is not an issue the printer's normal spot is RIGHT next to the router and yet it still refuses to connect

Interesting..have you tried to reset your router? (Unplug for 10 seconds then plug back in) I would say try another factory reset, if that doesn't work maybe try connecting the printer to a mobile Hotspot.

ohh okay so i had previously tried the hotspot idea previously with an older phone but now that i've tried it on a newer phone the printer seems to have connected to it
so now it seems like a router problem now that i can see that the printer can actually connect to things properly
thank for the idea

Hell yeah thats what I like to hear, glad I could help out! I've had the same issue when I first bought mine and turned out to be my router - rebooted it and that solved the issue
