Troubleshoot Wi-Fi Issues

The Square Register and Fresh KDS integration requires a strong Wi-Fi signal to function properly. A weak Wi-Fi network configuration can cause:

  • A printer (or kitchen display system) to disconnect from the Square Register app.
  • A printer not to appear within the Square Register app.
  • Some order tickets not to be sent to the desired printer or kitchen display.
  • Some Square merchants have found the following troubleshooting tips helpful:

  • If you share your network with many devices, create a separate Wi-Fi network using a dual band router.
