3. Using the IP of the Connect Hub assigned by the customer’s router
This method is best to use if you’ve temporarily connected an Ethernet cable
between the Connect Hub and your customer’s router.
3.1. Press the WPS button on the Connect Hub and hold it until both the
Power and ETH LEDs turn purple, then release the button.
3.2. The Power LED will start flashing.
3.3. Log in to the customer’s router and find out the IP assigned to the
Connect Hub. It’ll be shown in the DHCP table as Espressif.
3.4. Now navigate to that IP address to see the Connect Hub web server
login page.
Note: the device will automatically exit the web server after 20
minutes’ inactivity.
Using Wi-Fi between the Connect Hub and the
customer’s router
Note: We strongly recommend the use of a wired Ethernet connection
between the Connect Hub and the customer’s router.
If this isn’t possible, you can connect the Connect Hub to the customer’s wi-fi.
A potential problem with this method is if the customer changes their Wi-Fi
password or SSID, or changes their router and so has a new SSID or password,
the Hub connection will stop working. You should use this option with caution,
and make your customer aware of the risk.
Before starting this process, make sure that the Ethernet lead is removed
from the rear of the Connect Hub.
1. Navigate to the Connect Hub web server login page using one of the
methods in "Accessing the Connect Hub web server" on page 12.
2. Log in to the Connect Hub web server and go to Settings > Network
3. Now select WAN interface as Wi-Fi and click save.
