• Multi-Network Environment: If both wired and Wi-Fi connections are active, the system will prioritize the wired network

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Issue	Possible Cause	Solution
Wi-Fi list not visible	1. Module not connected correctly 2. Router too far away 3. Driver incompatibility	1. Check module connection 2. Move closer to the router 3. Try another compatible module
Connection fails	1. Incorrect password 2. Router restrictions 3. Frequency band mismatch	1. Verify password is correct 2. Check router MAC filtering 3. Try the 2.4G band
Cannot obtain IP	1. DHCP service malfunction 2. Signal too weak	1. Restart the router 2. Use a static IP configuration

Cannot Activate Connection

• The following error indicates that during system startup, the power supply was insufficient, causing the file system expansion to fail
• You need to reflash the system and ensure the power adapter can provide at least 5V-2A
