Rackrew Hub pairing
First boot, the captive portal, and getting your printers online.
The Rackrew Hub is a small always-on bridge — no PC required, and one Hub drives every printer on your network however many that is. Your plan's connected-printer count is the only limit, not the hardware.
1. Power it on
On first boot (and any time it can't reach a known Wi-Fi network), the Hub raises its own network
named Rackrew-Setup.
2. Join the setup network
From your phone or laptop, join Rackrew-Setup. A captive portal should open automatically; if it
doesn't, visit any http:// address in a browser.
3. Enter Wi-Fi and pairing code
The portal asks for your normal Wi-Fi network's credentials, and a pairing code — get this from Developers → Bridges → Add bridge in the dashboard first, since the code is generated per-organisation.
4. Add printers
Once the Hub shows as online under Developers → Bridges, add printers from Fleet → Add printer as usual — Bambu setup or Moonraker setup, depending on what you're running.
Notes
- The Hub streams camera feeds without transcoding — Bambu and Moonraker sources are already in a format that ships directly over the bridge connection, so even the smallest Hub handles a full fleet's worth of cameras.
- If the Hub drops off your Wi-Fi, it falls back to raising
Rackrew-Setupagain rather than retrying silently forever — reconnect it the same way as first boot.
