Hi, and thank you for contacting me. I reinstalled the sub stick that came with the printer in my pc, I said that I would double check how I edited the Config file. Well I found that I had followed the instructions ok. I said that I would install the USB drive in the printer one last time, This time I waited for **9** minutes and Walla it worked I was so suppressed as the instructions said to water for about 15 to 20 seconds? Well the confusion is over now and the WIFI is working. Thank you sir. Regards. Mike ---

So tips that _may_ help:- Full Format a USB drive to FAT 32 edit the wifi.cfg file enter your Router SSID and password, do NOT use quote marks as you would with Marlin Save the file wifi.cfg as a text type to the root of the USB drive, ONLY THIS file should be on the USB drive Switch on the SV08 3D printer and wait for the Ready message, i.e. wait for it to fully boot. Then plug in the USB drive, after a few seconds on the SV08 display select:- Advanced, then select Show IP, this should, after a short delay, display the WiFi address you need. Good luck ---

I had working wifi, until it suddenly stopped working. After looking for possible issues it seems that the printer has problems connecting to the network when it is a combined 2.4GHz and 5 GHz network with the same network name. I created a separate network on the 2.4 GHz network, after that the printer has been working fine again. ---
