New page

The Portsdown 4 can be configured, from the touchscreen, to use WiFi rather than a wired LAN connection. This feature was introduced in release 202204110.

===Limitations===

* Remember that WiFi may not be reliable if you are transmitting on 2.4 GHz (QO-100 or terrestrial) or 5.6 GHz.

* WiFi RF pickup may cause interference on the Mic audio input or the audio outputs of the Portsdown.

* It is only possible to configure and save one WiFi connection.

* This dialogue cannot enable connection to hidden networks.

* Be careful if using the Web Control over flaky WiFi. Results could be unpredictable.

* Although possible, it is not recommended to perform Portsdown software updates over WiFi.
