Is it possible to link a sewing machine with wifi to my Orbi network?
Hi I have the above Orbi system. Is it possible to add a sewing machine with wifi to my Orbi devices? At the moment I can only transfer designs to my machine by logging out of Orbi, downloading th...
Never in a day would I have thought that a sewing machine would get technical and get WiFi abilities. My grandmother would be amazed if she was still around. She had a peddle machine back in the day. đ
Hi, Thank you, There is no mention of this in the user manual.
The specific model of sewing machine?
(or, a link to an on-line version of the User Manual)
- Hi
It is a Janome S9. I can join it to our wifi but Orbi does not recognise it so I have to log out of Orbi every time I want to send a design to the sewing machine.
Thank you for your help.

The key appears to be running their Embroidery application on the computer/tablet and selecting the sewing machine from the list of devices.
Once the machine has been connected to the router, the Attached Devices screen, or Device Manager on the Orbi 'app' should display the same information that the machine does in terms of IP address.
Where does the process break down?
Hi
Thank you. I have no problem with connecting the machine and iPad to our network the problem is that, even though both devices are connected to the same wifi when I go to transfer the design to my machine I get a communication error saying connection failed. My machine does not show up on the list of connected devices on Orbi. If I log out of Orbi I can do to the transfer. To me it appears that Orbi is not recognising my sewing machine even though it is connected to our network. It is no biggie to log out when I need to do a transfer but it would be easier if I didnât have to do that. Thanks again for your help.
