Fix a weak WiFi link#
- Check the signal in the Connection section. Aim for green (60 % or more).
- Move the controller's antenna away from metal.
- Add a WiFi extender near the machine.
- Set your router's 2.4 GHz channel to 1 or 11 (not Auto).
Make the controller use the extender#
Give the extender's 2.4 GHz network its own name.
In the Machine tab console, type:
$Sta/SSID=Your_Extender_Name $ByeAdd
$Sta/Password=…before$Byeif the password is different.
Wrong name or password? The controller starts its own FluidNC network. Join it from your phone and fix the settings there.
