2nd time trying to use glowforge spark will not connect to wifi

Took awhile yesterday to get the wifi to work on glowforge but I was able to do a test run with it on one of my designs. Tried again today but the wifi wouldnt get connected. I have done everything the video has said to do . I have seen other people had the problem as well but nothing is working that I have tried via video .

Connecting it to wifi is a one-time thing. Since you got it connected yesterday, you shouldn’t be doing it again today. It’ll connect itself automatically whenever you plug it in.

Ditto to what @dan84 said.

If the Spark is losing its connection, let’s try to troubleshoot that!

  1. Make sure you router is still sending out a 2.4 channel. Some ISP’s “helpfully” auto-update to the faster 5, and none of the lasers can read that.

  2. Can you connect your Spark via a WiFi hotspot on your phone?

  3. Run a signal strength checking app to see how strong (not how fast) your WiFi is.
