¶ 4. Connect the printer to a network
There are two methods to connect the printer to the network, and you can choose either one to perform the network configuration.
¶ Method 1: Connect the printer to the network directly through the app.
¶ 1) Reset the WiFi status.
¶ 2) Download and open the Anycubic APP.
Android:
Option 1: Scan the printer's cloud platform QR code using a browser to download the Anycubic APP.
Option 2: Download the Anycubic APP by searching for "Anycubic" on the Google Play Store.
3) Connect to the printer hotspot.
Note: This step is to bind the printer with the app. It is normal for the WiFi to show "connected but network not available" or"no internet", and the app may display two types of pop-up prompts:
①A pop-up window appears asking "WiFi is not available, do you want to continue using this WiFi?" Select "Use".
②A pop-up window appears asking "WiFi is not available, do you want to switch?" Select "Do not switch, continue using".
¶ 4) Connect to WiFi.
Once the printer hotspot connection is established, the app will automatically navigate to the WiFi connection page. From there, select the desired WiFi network and enter the password to complete the WiFi setup process. If your WiFi network is an open, password-free hotspot, you can connect to it without entering any password by simply selecting the WiFi hotspot and clicking "OK."

Method 2: Connect the printer to the network using a U-disk txt script and scan the CN code displayed on the printer screen with the app.
