The Network config options are: WiFi Enabled, WiFi SSID, WiFi PSK, Ethernet Enabled, IPv4 Networking Mode, Static Address and NTP Server. Network config uses an admin message sending a `Config.Network` protobuf.
|
|
|
|
:::info
|
|
Enabling WiFi will disable Bluetooth. Only one connection method will work at a time.
|
|
:::
|
|
|
|
ESP32 devices have the ability to connect to WiFi as a client. SoftAP mode is not supported by the Meshtastic firmware.
|

|
|
## Network Config Values
|
|
|
|
### NTP Server
|
|
|
|
The NTP server used if IP networking is available.
|
|
|
|
Set to `0.pool.ntp.org` by default. (Max Length: 33)
|
|
|
|
### WiFi Enabled
|
|
|
|
Enables or Disables WiFi.
|
|
|
|
Set to `false` (Disabled) by default.
|
|
|
|
### WiFi SSID
|
|
|
|
This is your WiFi Networks SSID.
|
|
|
|
Empty `""` by default. (Case Sensitive, Max Length: 33)
|
|
|
|
### WiFi PSK
|
|
|
|
This is your WiFi Networks password.
|
|

|
|
|
|
### Ethernet Enabled
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
:::tip
|
|
The first time your device restarts after enabling WiFi or Ethernet, it will take an additional 20-30 seconds to boot. This is to generate self-signed SSL keys. The keys will be saved for future reuse.

## Examples
|
|
|
|
### WiFi Client
|
|
|
|
With `network.wifi_ssid` & `network.wifi_psk` populated, the device will know to connect to your network. Make sure you are in range of your WiFi. If you have a single Meshtastic device on your local network it's easy to connect to your device with DNS `http://meshtastic.local`. If you have multiple Meshtastic devices you will need to connect using their respective IP addresses.
|
|
|
|
If you have a screen attached to your device, the final page will display something similar to the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
WiFi: Software AP (Admin)
|
|
IP: 192.168.42.1 (0/4)
|
|
SSID: myNetwork
|
|
http://meshtastic.local
|
|
* * * * *
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You should then be able to connect to the node using either the displayed IP address or the HTTP link.
|
|
|
|
### Disable WiFi
|
|
|
|
To disable WiFi completely, set `network.wifi_enabled` to `false`. |
