I just received and setup my Creality Hi Combo and so far, it’s exceeded my expectations, with the exception of WiFi. I cannot get it to connect to my network no matter what I try, below is a list of what I’ve done;
Updated the firmware
Assigned a static IP to the MAC address on the router
Allowed that MAC address to only have access to the 2.4GHz network
Reset to factory, multiple times
Attempted to enter an incorrect password followed by the correct password
I have power cycled the printer and the router multiple times
Tried entering the SSID manually, doing this, did not return an error, making me think it was connected, but a quick check on my router showed it had never accessed the network, but the printer had the WiFi icon lit up
I have turned the 5GHz radio off, so that only 2.4GHz was broadcasting
The printer is about 10 feet away from the router with a clear line of sight, the only thing between the two is a wooden table and air.
I am out of ideas of what to try. I have thought about grabbing an old router to see if the printer could actually connect to something and that it might not be able to pass the passphrase as typed. I’m hoping someone has an idea or suggestion on how to connect this printer to the network.
