    Hi
    I have my machine working perfectly with USB no problem
    But now i have to move my laptop a bit far away for CNC as my shop becomes too tight

    I have internet on my IPhone only and not sure about reliability specifically if i got a call
    Tried to connect once but didn’t work

    Any solution please,

    Install a home wifi network (access point that BlackBox and PC can both be connected to)

    Or even easier: get yourself an OpenBuilds Interface "no more laptops" - run it directly from Interface

    Thanks @Peter Van Der Walt
    You the device that extends wifi ? My shop is not close to home
    Interface will cost a lot with shipping
    What about direct access to BB32 wifi?without existing network
    I see this option on my laser and some esp32 controllers
    Or Bluetooth extension

    Enter $$=73 on the console to see what the available options are, if AP is not an option (say it only allows 1 and 0) then you'd have to ask on the grblHAL github issues why, not sure

    Otherwise, lets not complicate it and stick to my original advice
