3D Printer Network Setup

  1. Edit /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf file
    Replace hotspot_ssid, hotspot_password, eduroam_login and eduroam_password accordingly. Eduroam configuration may vary by university.

    ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
    update_config=1
    country=DE
    
    network={
        ssid="hotspot_ssid"
        psk="hotspot_password"
        priority=1
    }
    
    network={
        ssid="eduroam"
        key_mgmt=WPA-EAP
        eap=PEAP
        identity="eduroam_login"
        password="eduroam_password"
        phase2="auth=MSCHAPV2"
        priority=2
    }          
    
  2. Test your connectivity. Sometimes changing the configuration above may be sufficient. If the printer still does not connect to the hotspot or eduroam, then the following steps may help.

  3. Remove or comment out all lines in /etc/dnsmasq.conf
  4. In /etc/default/hostapd replace DAEMON_CONF="/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" with DAEMON_CONF=""
  5. In /etc/sysctl.conf remove (or comment out) the line containing net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
