The device supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (no support for 5 GHz) and WEP/WPA/WPA2 Personal authentication (no support for WPA2-Enterprise). As the Wi-Fi network, you can also use a personal hotspot created by a phone.



💡

You can also connect your device to a Hotspot by following the instructions below


Setting up a hotspot using an iPhone device.

When using a personal hotspot with an iPhone it is set to 5 GHz connection by default.

To change this to a 2.4 GHz connection, go to:

iPhone Settings -> Personal Hotspot -> turn on Maximise Compatibility.

                                                                                                                                                                                                              


Step 3 - Restart the device

After saving, please restart the device using the red Restart instrument button (see the left screenshot in the previous step).

If the connection is successful, a small Wi-Fi icon will appear in the top-right corner of the screen (see photo below).


If you encounter issues connecting:

  • Double-check the spelling of your network name (SSID) and password. Most connection problems are caused by simple typos.

  • Be aware that while most Wi-Fi types are supported, 5 GHz Wi-Fi and WPA2 Enterprise networks are not compatible at the moment. We have a beta solution for WPA2-Enterprise, please get in touch if you need it.
