Set up WiFi from the on-screen setup portal

Once your phone joins the setup hotspot, a setup page opens by itself (a "captive portal", the same pop-up you get when joining WiFi at a hotel). From it you configure the player's real network — no app, no login to the box.

Opening the page

Scan the QR code on the screen with your phone camera → it joins the hotspot and opens the page.
Or join ImpressBox-XXXX by hand in your WiFi list; the page should pop up on its own.
If it doesn't pop up, open any browser and go to **http://10.42.0.1**.

You do not need the device's password — being on the hotspot is what authorises the change, and the page is only reachable from the hotspot itself.

Quick connect (the common case)

At the top of the page is a short form — this is all most installs need:

Choose a network. Pick your WiFi from the drop-down. It lists the networks the player saw nearby, strongest signal first.
Password. Type the WiFi password.
Tap Connect.

The player joins the network, the hotspot closes, and the new network is saved and reported to manage. That's it.

Hidden network

If your WiFi name is hidden (not broadcast), choose "Other / hidden network" in the drop-down and type the exact network name (SSID), then the password, and Connect.

Fixed (static) IP instead of automatic

By default the player gets its address automatically (DHCP). To give it a fixed IP, turn on the Static IP switch — extra fields appear:

IP address — e.g. 192.168.1.50
Subnet mask — e.g. 255.255.255.0
Gateway — your router, e.g. 192.168.1.1
DNS — e.g. 8.8.8.8

Fill these in, then Connect. Leave the switch off to use automatic addressing.

Tip. If you're not sure, leave it on automatic (DHCP). Only use a static IP when the site requires it (e.g. firewall rules, or a device that must always be reachable at the same address).

Advanced settings

Below the quick-connect form the page also shows the full device settings — the same Network / display / audio settings you'd edit in manage. You normally don't need these during a WiFi setup, but they're there if you want to add a second network, an Ethernet profile, etc. The Network fields work exactly as described in Network & IP addresses in manage.

Good to know

The network list is a snapshot. The player scans for nearby WiFi just before it becomes a hotspot (a single radio can't scan and broadcast at once). If a network you expect is missing, use the hidden-network option and type its name, or restart the hotspot to re-scan.
Adding a network doesn't wipe the others. Networks are merged by name, so configuring a new WiFi keeps any previously saved ones — see Network & IP addresses in manage.
Wrong password? The player will keep trying and fail to come online. Re-open the hotspot and submit again with the correct password.
