Ray5 MiniS Wi-Fi Connection Failure Troubleshooting

Wi-Fi connection issues on the Ray5 MiniS can prevent wireless control through software such as LightBurn or LaserGRBL. These problems are typically caused by signal strength, network compatibility, or incorrect configuration.

This guide helps you quickly identify and resolve the most common Wi-Fi connection issues.

1. Weak Wi-Fi Signal

In LightBurn or LaserGRBL, enter $wifi/listAPs in the console to search for available Wi-Fi networks.
In the list of detected Wi-Fi networks, the number shown after SIGNAL represents signal strength, with 100 being the strongest.

If the signal is too weak, the connection may fail.
Possible causes and solutions:

The Wi-Fi antenna on the motherboard may be loose. In this case, remove the front beam cover of the RAY5 mini and reconnect the antenna securely.

The antenna may be damaged. If so, replace the antenna with a new one.

2. Wi-Fi Frequency Band Is 5 GHz Instead of 2.4 GHz

The Longer laser engraver can only detect 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks.
If your Wi-Fi is using the 5 GHz band, the machine will not be able to find or connect to it.

3. Incorrect Wi-Fi Name or Password

Check carefully to ensure that the Wi-Fi name (SSID) and password are entered correctly.

Conclusion

Wi-Fi connection failures on the Ray5 MiniS are usually caused by weak signals, unsupported 5 GHz networks, or incorrect credentials. By checking signal strength, ensuring a 2.4 GHz connection, and verifying network details, most issues can be resolved quickly.

A stable Wi-Fi connection enables convenient wireless control and improves workflow efficiency.
