Missing "Connect via LAN" option in the Network connection menu (2+ Connect)

Posted · Missing "Connect via LAN" option in the Network connection menu (2+ Connect)

I have a 2+ Connect and after a change to a new WiFi network broke its connectivity I decided to give the wired option a try.

 

According to the manual I should be able to enable "Connect via LAN" in the "Network connection" menu. However even after a factory reset my only options are "Show connection information" and "Connect to WiFi". There's nothing about the ethernet connection at all except a mention of the LAN MAC in the connection information screen.

 

Am I missing some step to enable the LAN? I can't find anything in the manual other than "use the Connect via LAN" option.

 

My printer has firmware 1.5.2.

    I updated to firmware 1.5.3 and saw no difference.

     

    I pulled the debug logs and there is a mention in the system log of eth0's link coming up. But according to the switch it's attached to. There's no attempt to negotiate a link (nor any mention of this happening in the log).

    To close this out. As far as I can tell the 2+ Connect will never show the "Connect via LAN" option. However, having cleaned the contacts in the ethernet port I was able to get a network connection. This shows up in the "Connection Information" screen and allows the printer to connect to the Digital Factory servers.
