Thought I would add myself to the wifi issues thread. I have 3 different by maybe related issues:
list of neworks rarelt displays at all
when is does it is incomplete - 9 shown vs 24+ in the neighbourhood. My network has never displayed (either 2.4 or 5G) and this list that does seems consistant.
some of the listed networks have corrupted names - the same network name is corrupted differently in the list then if you select it. Poorly handled whitespace or some other string handling bug in the cetus?
I have submitted this to support but thought I would show it here for other users.
Granted, I don't yet have a printer. But even if I did, it would be necessary for me to specify the network before the printer could be found. Authentication is required on my network. Since the application can't populate with a list of discovered networks, my hopes of ever finding the printer seem extremely unlikely.
This is a serious problem and needs to be addressed.

Until the wifi printer is installed, nothing shows up here. While there are a number of people with wifi issues they are still the minority. My network also needs authentication and worked perfectly as soon as the wifi was installed and I followed the instructions. There is obviously a problem as a few people have the same issue but I dont think the problem is as bad as you may think (obviously its pretty bad for those that have the issue, but as I mentioned, they are in the minority)

OK, so are
you suggesting the printer needs to be initially installed as hardwired?
Then once a printer has been detected it is possible to configure
WiFi? If that is the case, then I am happy that you have documented a
work-around. It would be interesting to hear if this solves the problem
for the affected users.
I see problems reported
without responses, resolutions or work-arounds. I have no sense of
minority or majority of users having the problem. The problem exists
and it wasn't addressed.

I think the FAQ explicitly says that you have to connect via USB first to set up the wifi. [/quote]
Yes, it does now that I read it again. It could be more clear however.

Maybe I'm just lucky but:
- Router outputs both 2.4G and 5G simultaneously
- computer and router must be on same network? Do you mean computer and printer - mine are on different wifi networks
My wifi works flawlessly - never had an issue. For the record, I have a macbook pro, Netgear Nighthawk X4S and a D-Link DAP 1650 access point (running a seperate wifi network).
Got my cetus today and I was having wifi issues as well. Even after setting up the wifi settings on the printer, I still couldn't see the printer from the Windows cetus app. Then I decided to try it out from my OSX machine and the cetus app there was able to see it, so I realized the problem must be with Windows and not the printer. I finally got everything to work after modifying the Windows Firewall settings to allow the cetus app to connect through the firewall in the Windows Fireall settings. So if you're still having wifi issues with the cetus, check to make sure that you've excluded the cetus app from the Windows Firewall.
Work around tip for Mac users with access to windows machine with wifi issues.
I used the new verison of the Windows Cetus App to set up my wifi on the printer. The windows (or newer, not sure what made the difference) was reliably able to show networks to choose from. Well, 10 networks. I was using a virtual windows machine run on my Mac.
Once my network was chosen the Mac app can connect to the printer via wifi as well. Note: the 10 network limit was still in effect and I just had to repeatedly refresh the list until I got lucky.
My wifi password has spaces in it which the printer apparently doesn't know how to handle and refused to connect to. I set up a guest network with a password that does not have spaces and the printer connected without a problem. Hope this helps somebody.
If you are using 2.4G wifi, but the Cetus3D printer can't find wifi, you can manually input ssid to connect with router by Cetus3D software(v1.3beta windows)
Had an issue with my Cetus and Windows 10. The OSX machines on the network could see it via Wifi but Win 10 machine could only connect via USB. Turned out I needed to give Cetus App access thru the windows firewall.
Working great now, and currently printing off the one way bearing holder.
I have also faced the same issue with my Netgear Nightwalk R7000 router and Cetus 3D printer. My desktop and printer on the same network. but there was some wifi issues with the Cetus. Then I get some online reviews and found one website. from https://www.routertechnicalsupportnumbers.com/fix-netgear-router-error-code-messages/ I got the proper solution.
