Duet and iphone

baird1fa

So I have a Duet 2 Wifi and it is connected to my home network. It doesn’t have a static ip therefore dynamic and assigned by my router. So I have managed to figure out that I can find my printer (duet) by its name with a / at the end using Chrome as the web browser. I can’t however, seem to use the same method with safari on my phone or chrome.

Am I doing something wrong or does a phone just not naturally look to local resources before looking to the internet?

Thanks for any help. Thanks

You might need to add the full URL like http://PRINTERNAME.local/

Can you set a DHCP reservation for the Duet in your router so it has a static IP?

I don’t think I can. It’s one of those eeros from Amazon. Not much I can do without the subscription.

Yep that is what is needed. I knew there would be a trick.

Thanks.

The thought of a piece of networking equipment that I paid for in my own home that won't allow basic networking functionality without a subscription makes me nauseous.

EDIT: Actually come to think of it there are a few high end enterprise level options that do exactly this, so maybe that's the future. Yikes.
