WiFi security protocols (WPA2-Ent 802.1X) needed

Bambu Lab P1 Series General Discussions

Hi,

We are using several P1S printers at out university however they do not have the ability to connect to our WiFi network. I’m sure there are many others who are also using the printers in a corporate or educational environment with the same issue.
Without connectivity many of the printers features are unused or limited.
Please add this to a future firmware release.

They released the X1E for Enterprise environments.

Hopefully they will add this to their other printers as buying new printers is not a great solution

Hi,
Sorry I may not have the solution to your problem, but I may have the same problem

I want to buy the P1P, but I was told by the supplier that the WIFI connection will be absent or disabled by the manufacturer, but I’ve already been printing through WIFI using my brother’s P1P in Turkey with no problem at all… my brother bought his P1P from Turkey a few months ago … and the WIFI is working great … I can’t imagine not having it.

So Is it really true that Bambu lab is disabling WIFI connection for P1P exported to some countries ??

I hope someone could help with this issue

Thanks a lot

Khaled

This would be a game changer in my school environment as well. I really hope this feature is added soon.

I think the best way forward is to buy a cheap wifi router and plug it into your network switch. Say, $10 or $20 one like TL-WR841N. Then you can allocate that wifi 802.11n as an isolated virtual LAN so that it won’t compromise security of your school/company network.

Then you can do everything to the printer via cloud.

I know this is a workaround but this simple solution is cheap enough and you can still use the printer just like you connect it to your main wifi network.

Any progress on this? We have several P1S printers and would like to connect them to the 801.1x (WPA-EAP) protected Wifi (EAP-TTLS, EAP-PEAP or EAP-PWD). There is support for 802.1x on the ESP32 plattform they used. So it’s mainly a question of adding that code to their firmware.
Pleeease provide us with 802.1x support! Using a cheap router as a gateway is just a hack.
