Our WiFi Receiver systems are intuitive and straightforward while providing the information and features that our customers need. You start on the main page, the Scan Page. This page tells you how many WiFi signals (networks) it is finding.
There is a menu along the left side of the page (on smaller devices such as phones, there is a Hamburger Stack [collapsed menu] in the upper left that you can tap on to drop down the menu). A lot of features and settings are accessible from this menu.
The Scan Page seeks and presents available WiFi Hotspots that you can connect to. You will notice that they indicate Name (SSID), Whether they are “locked” or “unlocked” (WPA2 secured or not), Channel (or x Aps [+], and Signal Strength both in a color graph form and in dBm.
You click in the middle of the rectangle of your chosen Hotspot and click the “Connect” button to connect to it. It should go through “Checking IP” followed by – hopefully 3 “YES” for Connected to Network, Got IP, Got Internet. You should be online at that point. In the upper right of the page, you will see an indication in the green of a checkmark and the name of the Internet provider you just connected to. You will also see a yellow half-circle with a star and a green half-circle with a checkmark, indicating that you are connected to the Internet.
It is also possible to get something called “Captive Portal”. Internet: orange checkmark, which means that the Hotspot requires further sign-on to gain Internet access.
