Configuring Advanced WiFi Settings

The ScreenScape Connect Device supports the following WiFi security types: Open Network, WEP, WPA/WPA2. WPA2 Enterprise. The device also has the capability to be programmed to connect to a non-broadcasted SSID (hidden WiFi network).

It is important to note that you can only use the Smartphone Method setup method if you are connecting the device to an Open network, WEP or WPA/WPA2 network that is broadcasted (not hidden).  If you need to configure the device to connect to a non-broadcasted SSID (hidden WiFi network) or a WPA2 Enterprise network then you will have to connect a USB keyboard to the device to complete the Advanced WiFi setup.

The following guides are written from a initial setup perspective. If you are attempting to change the WiFi that is currently configured on a device then you can connect a USB keyboard to the device and press CTRL+SPACE to access the WiFi setup screen.
