The Longer Nano & Nano Pro laser engravers support multiple connection methods, including USB connection, microSD card operation, and wireless control.

Besides the traditional Type-C USB connection, users can also connect LightBurn and Longer Nano/Nano Pro through WiFi. This wireless connection method reduces cable limitations and provides a more flexible engraving setup.

This guide explains how to configure the LightBurn WiFi Bridge connection for LONGER Nano and Nano Pro step by step. Before starting, make sure your laser engraver and laptop are ready for WiFi setup.

Why Use LightBurn WiFi Connection?

The traditional way to use LONGER Nano is connecting the machine to a laptop through a Type-C USB cable or running engraving files through the LONGER LaserBurn application.

However, USB connection distance is limited. A USB cable usually works within a short range, which may restrict your workspace setup. With the LightBurn WiFi connection:

  • You can control the laser engraver without a USB cable.
  • You can place the laptop in a more convenient position.
  • The engraving workspace becomes more flexible.

For a better connection experience, keep the laptop and LONGER Nano connected to the same WiFi network.
