The firmware needed for the Wi-Fi module is included in the printer's firmware file. Download the firmware and if necessary the bootloader, and transfer it to your USB drive. Make sure to unmount the drive from your operating system before physically removing it.
Insert the USB drive back into the printer and reboot the printer using the reset button directly next to the knob to initiate the flashing procedure. In case the procedure does not start, reboot the printer again by pressing the same reset button, and while the printer is booting up, press once the rotating knob.
The printer will let you know when the flashing is done. When installing the bootloader along with the firmware, it may take several minutes.
Contact our support team and let them know that you tried to fix the issue with these instructions. We will take it from there.
