So two things:
One - there is no ethernet port on the glowforge, which is just mental to me. (previously)
Two - at best, that’s a maybe.
I’m just saying that sketchy wifi connections yield all kinds of weird glowforge behavior, including strange scanning stalls. One possibility is to really try to maximize wifi signal at the glowforge, a $30 range extender might be worth the investment just to see if that helps. Worst case scenario, you now have an extender that you can use to boost your signal strength where you need it.
