I am trying to setup for the first time. My glowforge will not connect to my network/wifi. My computer connects to the actual glowforge wifi just fine. But when it comes to actually connecting to actual wifi it won’t work. I have restarted it, tried my hot spot. I called my internet provider and there are no issues there and have the correct strength etc. I am stuck…I just want to use my printer so bad lol. I submitted a ticket but am unsure how long that takes for a response.

The GF is extremely picky when it comes to the WiFi signal make sure it’s a strong signal to the GF and it must be the 2.4 Ghz not the 5 Ghz,

I had to buy a wifi extender to use my gf. I have my gf located to far from my household router so when I set up my wifi extender I was able to place it directly next to the gf and I get a nice strong signal.
