Generally, once at the Raspian desktop, you can do anything with the
display that you can on any Raspberry Pi Model 3B+.
Once you have connected to your wireless hub once, the Display will
remember that connection and make it automatically any time it powers on.
However, it may be that the DHCP server on your wireless hub assigns a
new IP number each time. You might use VNC Viewer to view your battery
display or perhaps you want to connect to the included web server on the Pi
and desire a permanent “static” IP number for your device.
1.
Click EXIT on the Battery Display configuration screen to drop to the
Raspian desktop.
2.
Touch the square black TERMINAL icon on the tools bar at the top of
the screen to drop to the command line.

sudo nano /etc/dhcpcd.conf
on the command line.
