Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi on its own page switches the radio on and off. The page also has:
- Status: whether it is searching, joining, or connected, and to what.
- Add a network: scans, lets you pick one, and asks for the password (leave it empty for an open network). Add a hidden network asks for the name first.
- DNS and NTP: see below.
- Your saved networks. The device joins one on its own whenever it is in range, the strongest first. Enter on a network opens its page.
An address by hand
A network normally gives the device its address by itself (DHCP, Automatic). On a network without DHCP, open its page and set IP address to Fixed: then it takes an address, a prefix (24 is 255.255.255.0) and an optional gateway. Switching to Fixed starts from what the network is giving the device at that moment, and the setting is checked and applied when you leave the page. IPv4 only. Forget this network is on the same page.
DNS and NTP
Two DNS servers (9.9.9.9 and 1.1.1.1 by default), used on Fixed networks, or on every network if Always use my DNS is on; and two NTP servers (pool.ntp.org and time.cloudflare.com), used after any that the network's DHCP offers. Enter on Status shows what is in use and where each value came from.
