Network
VidiU allows you to connect and stream to the Internet by utilizing one of several network interfaces.
Navigate to Settings>Network (Network Settings from the front panel), then make a selection.
Wired
A wired Ethernet connection is typically the most
reliable means for connecting to a network, as
you don’t have to deal with the instability of a
Wi-Fi or cellular connection. Connect an Ethernet
cable to VidiU (Fig. 3-26*), select Wired, (Fig.
3-27) then choose a configuration mode.
IP Address Modes
Dynamic (DHCP): The connected router generates
an IP address, allowing the Vidiu to be automatically
configured.
Static: Manually configure the IP address settings
if a DHCP server is not available, or if applications
require a fixed address.
Wireless (Wi-Fi)
Although an Ethernet connection is the most
reliable method of connecting to a network, a
Wi-Fi connection may be more convenient,
especially if an Ethernet connection is unavailable.
There are two Wi-Fi modes available:

Wi-Fi Modes (Fig. 3-28)
Access Point (AP) Mode: VidiU acts as its own dual
band access point, allowing you to connect your device
directly to VidiU’s AP network.
Client Mode: VidiU and your mobile device connect
to the same local wireless network. Access Client
Mode, scan for available networks (Fig. 3-29) or
connect to a previously saved network, then enter
your credentials. Additionally, you can enable VidiU
to Automatically Connect to Saved Networks** by
accessing the Wi-Fi dropdown menu from the Web
UI, then toggling the corresponding switch to On
(Fig. 3-30).
On - VidiU will connect to any saved network as
soon as it becomes available.
Off - VidiU will only connect to the most recently
saved network
