I recently subscribed to Frontier Internet who uses a EERO WiFi router that requires WPA2 AES encryption or better. I have a Voron 2.4 I built about 5 years ago that ran fine on my Linksys E1200 router, but now I cannot access on the new EERO router. I have a Raspberry PI 4 for the motherboard in the Voron. Can this board connect to the EERO WiFi and, if so, what do I need to do to enable it to do so? Do I need to go through the entire software installaion again?

what have you tried so far to connect to the router?

I tried accessing through the browser but it could not make the connection. I checked the EERO app, but it doesn't show up as a device.

so to connect a printer pi to a new network, there are a couple of methods
one would be using klipperscreen's interface to search and connect to the new network
the other main one would be connecting the printer over ethernet, SSHing in, and using the nmtui interface to configure the new wifi

So, I should be able to direct connect to the printer using PUTTY, and redoing the configuration? Sorry, it's been awhile since I've done this stuff.

not direct connect. connect the printer to the ethernet ports of your router, if that is practical

So, physically connect with ethernet cable. That I can do, but probably only want to do on a temporary basis. If I understand correctly, that will make it able to configure the printer to talk to the router via WiFi, instead of direct connection, correct?

yes
connect over SSH, using the putty application, and run the nmtui command to configure the wifi

Ok. let me try that. Thx for your help. If I run into troubles, I may holler again. 🙂
