Newbie can not get Xtool F1 working with Lightburn

Search the forums?!?!?!?! What a novel idea!

I just find it amazing that I am in a category specifically devoted to the Xtool and lightburn and I get basically called an idiot for my choices and told to search the forums. Is everyone here a troll or are there actually people who can point someone to things that might help?

Yes, I read the post about the f1 not working with wifi, and the one about the xtool stopping after half the project, and the one about it disconnecting 4 times and then they could not get it reconnected, and the one about the software update deleting their settings and they dont have backups, and the one about it not working with a VPN, the one about the life expectancy of the lasers (1-5 years aint bad when you are talking continuous use!), etc etc etc. I went back until somewhere around lightburn 1.5x and then I figured so much had changed that any solutions wouldn’t matter for the new 2.x version.

Yes, thank you, I did my research before I bought the laser:

Now, if anyone has anything CONSTRUCTIVE to add to the conversation, I am all ears.
