Configure Wi-Fi

Webcaster X2 can use either a wired Ethernet connection or Wi-Fi. When using Webcaster X2 with Wi-Fi, you may need to disconnect your Ethernet cable to force the device to transmit over Wi-Fi instead of Ethernet. If the WiFi network is a captive network that is password protected, see Use a captive WiFi network that's password protected .

Webcaster X2 remembers your Wi-Fi connection and reconnects to the Wi-Fi network you set up after a power cycle.

To configure networking (Wi-Fi or wired) you need:

• Your Webcaster X2
• An HDMI display connected to your Webcaster X2
• A USB mouse connected to your Webcaster X2
• A Wi-Fi router or access point (for which you know the SSID and password)
• (Optional) a USB keyboard connected to your Webcaster X2

1. Click the Settings icon at the lower right corner of the screen and select Wi-Fi from the system settings screen.
   
2. If the toggle at the top of the screen says OFF, click ON.

   

3. Select a Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the network password using either the on-screen keyboard or an attached USB keyboard, then click Connect.
   
4. Right click to exit the Settings.

After you've connected to the Wi-Fi network, Webcaster X2 automatically reconnects to the Wi-Fi network after a power cycle unless you revert the Wi-Fi connection in the Preferences.
