- Click on the "up arrow" button (or the "down arrow") to move the access point higher (or
lower) in the list.

please refer to Chapter 7.4. “Changing local connection”.
Operating Spykee when one or more access points are entered
When starting up, your robot will check for available access points:
- By default, Spykee will first try to connect to your first preferred access point.
- If it doesn’t find the 1
st
access point or doesn’t manage to connect to it (bad WEP key for example…),
then it will try to connect to the 2
nd
one, then the 3
rd
one, and so on.
- In the event that Spykee doesn’t manage to connect to any of the access points entered in the robot,
it will return to the local ad hoc mode (and make a “beep beep” sound). If you want your robot to
refresh the search for your preferred WiFi access point, shutdown and restart your robot.
- In the event that one or more registered access points are available, it will connect according to the
defined priority.
- If you want your robot to connect to an access point other than the first in the order of priority, please
refer to Chapter
7.4. “Changing local connection”.
Other situations
If you run into any problems, please refer to chapter 14 "HELP”.
