Wifi
The WiFi functionality of the screen is exclusively compatible with 2.4GHz networks. Ensure that your wireless network operates on this frequency to be able to connect.
The WiFi configuration can be conveniently managed directly from the touchscreen interface. The screen has the capability to detect available networks, allowing users to easily select their desired WiFi connection. Additionally, users have the option to manually input the SSID of their preferred network. To manually input the SSID, simply touch the edit icon located on the WiFi SSID screen.
The WiFi interface uses the SSID for network connection rather than the BSSID. Consequently, the interface may not differentiate between WiFi Mesh nodes, and it will randomly select a node for connection.
It's important to note that certain router settings may lead to disconnections. For enhanced connection stability, it is advisable to disable these options on your router.
