Important: WiFi Link mode explanations

• EZCast Pro devices allow various connection methods, here are the descriptions:
• SoftAP mode: It’s direct linking from PC/MobilePhone/Tablet to a Pro device, you can link to EZCast Pro’s SSID directly to discover it, and you can also setup Pro devices’ WiFi to link with your router to keep internet surfing.
  
  *Note: After setting up your internet, sometimes the connection between EZCast Pro and your mobile phone might be disconnected because of different WiFi router channel. Please remember to reconnect again.
• There is another link mode “Infrastructure mode”, which allows you to link with EZCast Pro Box through router instead of SoftAP mode. However, the performance may not as good as direct link, and you will need to enter the setting to enable it if need it.
• There is 2 special modes for WiFi connections in our advanced setting, one is “Direct link only” and the other is “Via Router only”.
• In “Direct Link Only” mode, you will not be able to discover EZCast Pro through your home router. Under “Via Router Only” mode, the Pro device will shut down Soft AP (SSID), in this mode the SSID will be turned off so that no one can search it directly to prevent some hacker’s attack. Please be careful you will need to connect device through router under this mode.
