Connecting the hydrosys4 system to your home WiFi is a quite straightforward action.
Go to the "Network" page, choose your WiFi network among the list of available WiFi network, and insert the password.
Anyway although this is going to work in most of the cases, sometimes due to different WiFi setting, it is required to modify the IP address setting of the hydrosys4.
In case of problems, the following Router WiFi settings should be verified:
1) Gateway IP address starts with 192.168.1.xx
2) WiFi network uses the WPA2 encryption.
In case the Point 1) To understand which IP addresses range your router provides to the attached wifi devices, you can enter your WiFi router setting and check the IP addresses of the dhcp clients. Otherwise you can check IP address of any PC connected to the wifi and see if it starts with 192.168.1.
If the three numbers of the IP address are not 192.168.1 (in most cases it might be 192.168.0.), you can experience the following behavior:
The WiFi network created by the System (hydrosys4-5172) will disappear, but it is not possible to reach the System under the home WiFi typing the default IP address in the web-browser (192.168.1.172:5172). Most probably the system is successfully connected to the Home WiFi but with different IP address. If you have a Linux or Apple device (windows may also work), first thing you can do is to try to connect with the localhost name, go to the web-browser and type the following address: hydrosys4-172.local:5172.
If you can connect to the system using this address then go to the "Network" page and see if there is a Warning Message.
If the above address does not work, then restart the system (power OFF - ON) and connect to the System own WiFi network "hydrosys4-5172" within 3 minutes, go to Network page and check if there is a Warning Message.
The warning message should include the Gateway IP address where you can check the first 3 numbers.
If the first 3 numbers of the Gateway IP address are not 192.168.1.xx you are required to change the Hydrosys4 default IP address. Go to "Network" click "Advanced Setting" button, and change the IP address using same first three numbers of the Gateway IP address. (e.g if the first 3 numbers are 192.168.0, then use the following IP address 192.168.0.172)
Once you chick submit, the IP address will change and the connection with system will be interrupted. Type the new address in the web-browser and you should be able to connect. Remember the new IP address will be the default address for the future system access.
In case the Point 2) is not verified, then you require to change your WiFi setting. in general is recommended to use the WPA2 encryption for your WiFi security.
Hi Hydrosys, to find out who is connected to your home Wi-Fi the best thing that can be done is to check your router’s web interface. As your router hosts your Wi-Fi network, so it has there is higher possibility that it has the most accurate information about which devices are linked to it. The best way for gaining access to your router’s web interface applies. For further information try https://appuals.com/how-to-check-who-is-connected-to-your-wifi-network/ . To check the IP address you can go to your computer’s gateway IP address through the Control Panel. You can also run the ipconfig /all command in a Command Prompt window. After that just plug this IP address into your web browser’s address bar and tap the option of Enter. Now check your router’s documentation. In case you haven’t arranged a custom password and passphrase, you require performing a search or check out the documentation to find the default for your model of router. I hope this would work in your case. Just try this and let me know whether it does work or not.
