WiFi¶

Connect to WiFi for wireless networking. Supports 2.4GHz and 5GHz dual-band — 2.4G penetrates walls better and covers wider areas; 5G has lower latency, ideal for video. Works as mutual backup with Ethernet — each link has its own IP, either one can reach the management interface, and if one drops the other keeps working.

When using Ethernet and WiFi together, place them on different subnets to avoid routing conflicts. For example, Ethernet on 192.168.1.x, WiFi on 192.168.2.x.

Specifications¶

OLED Display¶

After WiFi connects, the "X" on the OLED network icon disappears and the second line shows the IP address. IP prefix is W (e.g., W192.168.1.100), W = Wireless.

While acquiring IP, the display shows W Loading.... If it takes more than 10s → check WiFi connection or router DHCP.

Software Configuration¶

Go to Web interface → Settings → Network.

Enable / Disable¶

Click the card's toggle on the right. Turning off WiFi disables the wireless interface. Saved networks and configurations are preserved.

Turning off both WiFi and Ethernet means you can't access the device. Keep at least one enabled.

Saved Networks¶

Shows saved WiFi networks. Click a network card to expand — shows connection status, signal strength, frequency band, IP address, and security type:

Click the gear icon to view or modify IP config and MAC address.

Click the trash icon on a network card to forget it.

Each saved network can have independent IP configuration — settings auto-switch when you change WiFi networks.

Scan & Connect¶

If no networks are saved, or to join a new one, click the WiFi card to scan nearby networks:

Each result shows SSID, signal strength, security type, and frequency band. Click a network → enter the password (if required) → connect.

Verify: After connecting → the card shows a "Connected" label and IP address. Password and config are auto-saved for next boot.

Network Configuration¶

Click the gear icon on a network card to open the configuration dialog (three tabs):

Details

Read-only display of current network parameters: IP address, MAC address, subnet mask, gateway, DNS1–3.

IPv4 Configuration¶

DHCP (default): Router assigns IP, gateway, and DNS automatically.

Static IP: Manually set fixed parameters.

When switching to static IP, make sure the parameters are compatible with the current network — otherwise you'll lose connectivity.

Click save — takes effect immediately.

MAC Address¶

Default uses the factory MAC address (printed on the packaging box). You can also set a custom one:

Format: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF (six groups of hex, colon-separated).

⚠️ Changing the MAC takes effect immediately and may cause disconnection. Some routers refuse to recognize a new MAC. If you can't reconnect after changing it, use Provisioning Mode (long-press Button A 3–6s) to recover.
