WiFi SETTING

1. If you want to connect an external router, you need to enter the router’s WiFi name and password, and not only that, you need to make sure the checkbox ( 4 ) is not checked if you want to make this connection take effect.(used only in router mode).
2. Here is the controller itself WiFi or hotspot information, it can be customized, The network name can be 1-32 characters in length and the password can be 8-16 characters in length. Only alphanumeric characters or space characters are allowed. If you forget the WiFi password, you can go back to page 5 and refer to the function button to restore factory settings.
3. If the wifi of the external router cannot be connected, the hotspot will start after a delay of 25 seconds. It can also be customized.
4. Check the independent mode to disable the router’s WiFi connection and allow datato be received through its own hotspot. Usually, we use it as a switch to disconnect the router’s WiFi and use its own hotspot to connect with other devices.

Turn off the power and then turn it back on for the changes to take effect.
