I purchased an Omtech 80W CO2 laser (Ruida 6442), trying to connect with my Macbook using the USB cable is a serious PITA. I don’t want to have to buy another connector to attach an ethernet cable if I don’t have to. I just purchased an additional USB a to C cable not knowing these issues. I can if…

Yeah I found it weird that it started running as well. I couldn’t understand why I came back to the laser thinking it was done and when I saw the test card, the last 10% of it was incomplete. Could it be something with the wifi? I realized after the fact I could actually access one of my mesh point…
