WiFi configuration

To configure the gateway WiFi network interface go to Configuration → WiFi.

WiFi Access-Point configuration

To let the gateway act as a WiFi Access Point, select Access point from the Mode select box.

When Mode is set to Access point, the following parameters need to be set up:

  • SSID: the SSID of the WiFi network created by the gateway
  • AP Hidden: if selected, the WiFi network will be hidden and only those who already know the SSID and the password will be able to connect to it
  • AP Timeout: if configured to a non-zero value, the WiFi network will be shutdown after the timer is elapsed
  • Password: the password of the WiFi network

After pressing the Save button, a confirmation pop-up will appear.

WiFi Station configuration

To connect the gateway to an existing WiFi network, select Station from the Mode select box.

When Mode is set to Station, a WiFi network scan can be started by pressing the WiFi scan icon located on the right of the SSID text box. The gateway will now start scanning the available WiFi networks.

WiFi network scan

When the scan is completed, a list of the available WiFi networks will appear and the user will have to choose the network to connect the gateway to.

Available WiFi networks

After choosing the network, enter the password of the selected network.
The user can choose whether to use DHCP or not for IP address assignment.
If DHCP is disabled, it is necessary to enter IP address, Netmask, Gateway and DNS manually.

NOTE:
In case the entered WiFi password is wrong, the gateway won't be able to connect to the WiFi network and the web user interface will be unreachable.
In this situation, a factory reset is the only solution to be able to access the gateway interface again.
To perform the factory reset of the gateway, press and hold the button for 5 seconds, the led will emit a red blink to indicate that the gateway will perform a factory reset.
After the factory reset, the gateway will restore its factory default configuration and will be reachable again as an Access Point.
