To remove the existing Wi-Fi settings or perform a reset, follow these steps in the console

In the example picture, we have hidden our IP-Address.

Note ↵ Symbol = Enter

1. Enter `M588 S”*”` and press `Enter` to initiate the process.

This will remove all the previous and will set the printer to idle mode (Wi-FI OFF).

2. Next, enter the Wi-Fi network name and password using the following format:

M587 S”Wi-Fi network name” P”Wi-Fi password” and press Enter.

For example, if your Wi-Fi network name is XYZ and the password is 12345, type:
M587 S”XYZ” P”12345” and press Enter.

For Wi-Fi without password,
Please note that our printer does not accept blank fields for the password. You must enter any 8-digit password, and we recommend using 12345678

Here’s an example:
M587 S"Wi-Fi network name" P"12345678" and then press Enter.

3. Finally, enter and send `M552 S1` and press `Enter`.

Wait for a moment as the printer connects to the network.
The printer will display its IP address in the console.

To save the changes you’ve made, use `M500` and press `Enter`.

This command will save the settings.

Here’s an alternative method to connect to Wi-Fi:

Please note that the following method is not recommended by default and should only be considered as a last resort if you are unable to connect to Wi-Fi using the previous instructions:

1. Turn off the printer and open the back panel to access the SD card slot.

Ensure the printer is turned off before removing the back panel.

2. Using an SD card reader, insert the SD card into your computer and navigate to the macros/assembly folder.

Open the file named 1. Setup [Wi-Fi Name] Wi-FI M587.gcode using a text editor or a similar program.

3. In Line 3, replace `XYZ` with your Wi-Fi network name and `12345` with your Wi-Fi password.

3. M587 S"XYZ" P"12345"  ;add my network and IP address,gateway,netmask

4. Once you have made the necessary changes, save the file and remove the SD card from your computer. Close the back panel of the printer and turn it on.

On the printer’s screen, go to the Control tab and press the “Macro” button. Then, select the “1. Setup [Wi-Fi Name] Wi-FI M587.gcode” button to execute the command.

After a few minutes, the printer should connect to the Wi-Fi network and display the IP address.

Here are the screenshot.

Instructions for connecting to Wi-Fi without a password / Open Wi-Fi was corrected.

Issue resolved: Error: M587: expected string expression

Hey @Peke, my apologies for the incorrect instructions earlier post.

Just to provide you with more information, we use Duet3D electronics in our printer.

Below are the correct instructions for connecting to an open Wi-Fi network:

1. Send the command: M587 S"Wi-Fi network name" P"12345678"

Please note that our printer does not accept blank fields for the password. You must enter any 8-digit password, and we recommend using 12345678

Could you please try these instructions?

I have also attached screenshots illustrating the steps. In our case, the Wi-Fi name is Test 12345

Please let us know if this resolves the issue.
