My remote is not staying connected to my CNC. Any advice would be super helpful.

Hi Sarah - welcome to the forums. Your remote? You mean the wireless gamepad or the controller? The gamepad will timeout relatively quickly to save battery. Just press the button in the middle - this is normal behavior. If you mean the controller, then it is likely a signal strength issue. Best solution is to connect your controller to the router directly with ethernet or move everything closer to the wifi access point. I recently started having wifi connection issues which I’ve not had since initial install. I literally opened the door to my office and that allowed the controller to reconnect more reliably; The door is a hollow core interior door - not exactly RF blocking. Very strange. YMMV.
