5.0 out of 5 stars PHEW!!! Difficult home wifi setup. But worth it coz scanner is FAST, COMPACT & LIGHT
Reviewed in Singapore on September 20, 2021
I was truly FURIOUS at first coz of extreme difficulty doing the wireless setup with my home network!! Then i finally figured out had to do the WIFI DIRECT pairing with my tablet first >> Then whilst still connected in this mode, click "Machine Settings" at bottom left-hand corner of app. Which opens up the Admin Portal in your browser. Key-in default password (indicated on label stuck under scanner) and Login. Go to "Network" tab >> "Wireless (Setup Wizard)" ... after that was a no-brainer. Just need your Wireless Network SSID credentials handy. And wish that instructions were much clearer from onset, plssse!!! Btw, after you're done with the admin portal, don't forget to change its default logon password for security!
