While you can connect to your laser system via Wi-Fi, there is also the option of ethernet connection. There should be an ethernet cable that came with your FSL laser.
Most of our systems have an ethernet port on the right side of the chassis toward the front- as shown here on the Muse 3D.
There are 2 ways to connect via Ethernet.
Direct Connect Ethernet
Take your ethernet cable, plug it into the ethernet port of your FSL laser.
Make sure your computer is nearby but not on top of the laser. Connect the other end of the cable to your computer's ethernet port.
Some models of computer may not have an ethernet port, so you may need an adapter to take advantage of this connection option.
Networked Ethernet
If your modem/router is close enough or you obtain an ethernet cable of appropriate length, you can connect it to your FSL laser.
This would allow any device connected to your modem/router's WiFi to access the laser from within it's range, rather than being limited by cable length or the necessity of an ethernet port.
Connect the cable to the laser's ethernet port and run the other end to connect to the ethernet outlets on the back of your modem/router.
You may have to look into your modem/router's manual for the location of it's ethernet ports.
Accessing RE3
Once you've chosen your desired ethernet connection method, go back to your laser and look at the touchscreen.
In the blue bar near the top of the screen it should say Ethernet with a numerical address following it formulated like 000.000.0.00 that you can enter into your device to access RE3.
If you've chosen the networked ethernet connection you can use that address from any internet capable device on the same Wi-Fi network to access your laser.
While the Chrome browser is recommended for compatibility- you can access RE3 with Windows, MacOS, Android, and iOS just to name a few.
