How to Enable Wi-Fi for Your IoT Gateway

Wi-Fi is a natural choice for connecting Internet of Things (IoT) devices in both residential and commercial settings due to its widespread use and popularity in delivering the internet globally. With its extensive capabilities and widespread adoption as a worldwide standard, Wi-Fi is ideally suited to enable IoT goods and applications. In practically every IoT scenario, Wi-Fi will be used, either by itself or in conjunction with more specific protocols or technologies.

Wi-Fi Competencies for IoT Projects

Standards-based and interoperable technology

Pervasive global connectivity

Proven WPA3™ security

Cost-effective and easy deployment

Strong Compatibility with Legacy Devices

Location-aware IoT Services

Heavy Data Throughput and Low Latencies for Video Streaming

Flexible Network Topology

A router or a computer that can login to enter IoT gateway's IP address

Steps to Setup Wi-Fi for IoT Gateway

STEP 1: Open A Web Browser on a Computer or a Router

Launch a web browser from a device, The device can be a computer that is directly connected to the gateway or a client from a router that is connected to the IoT gateway.

STEP 2: Log in to the IoT Gateway

1) In the address field of your web browser:

Enter http://192.168.66.1 for a computer web browser; or log in to the router, and find the gateway’s IP address (IP_addr), then Enter IP_addr.

2) In the Login field, enter the gateway password and click the Login button. The default password may be: root (case-sensitive).

STEP 3: Configure the IoT Gateway

1) Select Wi-Fi Manage, and enable Device Radio0 and configure Wi-Fi Interface WLAN0（Wi-Fi Mode: AP, Wi-Fi SSID: Input your own; Wi-Fi Encryption: PSK2 or others; Wi-Fi key: your password);

2) Click the Save & Apply button, and wait for the above-mentioned changes to be applied;

3) Connect the IoT gateway through Wi-Fi.

The Wi-Fi configuration for Your IoT gateway is done! Then you can use Wi-Fi to implement your IoT projects.
