Wi-Fi Menu / 9.2 - WiFi AP

By enabling the WiFi AP option, MiniHPC will switch to a mode where it becomes an access point with the SSID: miniHPC. This access point can be connected to from a regular mobile phone or PC. Access to this access point is not password protected! When WiFi AP mode is enabled, a WiFi symbol will blink in blue in the upper right corner of the display next to the clock.

Upon connecting, on most mobile phones, a web page will automatically open offering the option to select a home 2.4GHz WiFi network.

If the web page with the WiFi settings does not open automatically, we recommend turning off mobile data on your phone and manually connecting to the MiniHPC IP address 192.168.4.1, where you can then open the menu in the upper right corner and select the WIFI page.

The WiFi AP option will be automatically disabled on MiniHPC 1 hour after activation (unless it is manually disabled beforehand).

After activating the WiFi AP option, a QR code will appear on the right side of the screen. This QR code contains a link to the configuration page through which MiniHPC can be connected to the local WiFi network via Bluetooth communication between a mobile web browser and MiniHPC. Bluetooth connection via a mobile browser is not supported by every device (e.g., iPhone phones do not support this).

If Bluetooth connection is not supported, you can click on the QR code, which will change to the MiniHPC SSID; after scanning it, the mobile phone will connect to the MiniHPC access point. After a successful connection, this QR code will automatically change, and its content will be the URL address of the MiniHPC device for WiFi network settings (http://192.168.4.1/). By clicking on this QR code, you can switch between these three versions (BT, SSID, and URL).
