Can I still use LAN Only after updating firmware ?
After putting this decision off for quite a while, I finally decided to build a proper home network with an Asus router and a DIY Home Assistant server.
I'm still in the process of setting everything up, and I've been learning a lot along the way. VLANs, in particular, are an amazing feature if you want to isolate certain devices. And the best invention of all has to be VPN, being able to securely access my home network from anywhere without opening any ports is awesome (and much safer, haha).
With all of that in place, I feel like it's finally time to switch my P1S and A1mini to LAN Only mode. The only problem is that I already updated the firmware, the infamous firmware that prevents OrcaSlicer from communicating directly with the printer and forces everything through Bambu's middleman.
So I'm making this post to ask a few questions:
- Can I still switch to LAN Only mode even after updating the firmware? My current firmware version is 01.09.01.00 on the P1S. Is it possible to downgrade to an older firmware version?
- Do you have any tutorials or guides you'd recommend for setting everything up? I looked around, but I don't think this subreddit has a wiki.
- Are there any mods or upgrades you'd recommend? (I've heard about things like the Panda Touch, but I'm open to other suggestions.)
- Any other advice for someone making the switch?
Thanks in advance for your help!
