How to connect the Player to Wi-Fi?
Having an active internet connection is necessary for the media player to work properly. Although the player can work offline, it is always a good idea to set up a stable internet connection. We strongly recommend using a wired connection via an ethernet cable. However, when not available, Wi-Fi is there to save your day.
If the (preferred) wired connection via ethernet cable is not possible, you can connect the player to your local Wi-Fi network. Here is how:
- Connect your keyboard directly to the player's USB port and hit
Esc
orAlt+F4
- That will shut down the media player. - Navigate to the upper right corner of the screen and locate the Wi-Fi icon.
- Click on it, select the desired network and fill in the password when prompted. The player will remember the network settings and auto-connect to it after a restart.
- You can now safely reboot your player to restart the media player application.
Since our Bohemica Signage app runs on a standard linux OS (Ubuntu 24), you can reach for widely available manuals when setting up more advanced network settings.
