This applies up to app version 1.2.13.** Up to app version 1.2.13, you connect your panel to WiFi through Android settings. You can access them via the "Apps" entry in the side menu. This guide shows you the way using the "Camper-WiFi" network as an example. **Do you already have version 1.2.14 or newer?** Then your panel has a "WiFi" tile in settings, and the process is shorter. [Go to the guide for version 1.2.14 and later](https://university.revotion.app/artikel/wlan-am-4-zoll-panel-einrichten) ## What you need - A 4-inch panel with app version 1.2.13 or older. You can find the version in the side menu under "Settings" in the "App Update" section. - A WiFi network within range: home WiFi, campground WiFi, or your smartphone's hotspot. - The password for that WiFi network. ## Step 1: Open Apps Open the side menu by tapping the three lines at the top left. Scroll down and tap **Apps**. ![Side menu on the panel with the Apps entry highlighted](https://university.revotion.app/api/public/university/image/images/3505b402-fed4-4e20-9447-094df6fd0ffe/panel-wlan-alt-01-seitenmenue-v2.png) *The "Apps" entry in the side menu.* ## Step 2: Open Android Settings The list shows the apps installed on your panel. Scroll to **Settings** and tap it. You can find the entry faster using the "App Search" field. This takes you out of the REVOTION interface and into Android settings. ![List of apps with the App Search field, the Settings entry is highlighted](https://university.revotion.app/api/public/university/image/images/3505b402-fed4-4e20-9447-094df6fd0ffe/panel-wlan-alt-02-apps-v2.png) *The "Settings" app in the list.* ## Step 3: Open "Network & Internet" Tap **Network & Internet**. In the next screen, tap **WiFi**. ![Android settings with the Network & Internet entry highlighted](https://university.revotion.app/api/public/university/image/images/3505b402-fed4-4e20-9447-094df6fd0ffe/panel-wlan-alt-03-android-v2.png) *"Network & Internet" in Android settings.* ## Step 4: Turn on WiFi and select your network Android searches for networks within range and displays them below the toggle. - ① The **Use WiFi** toggle must be turned on. - ② Tap your network, in this example "Camper-WiFi". The lock symbol means a password is required. ![Android WiFi settings with the Use WiFi toggle and the Camper-WiFi network, numbered 1 and 2](https://university.revotion.app/api/public/university/image/images/3505b402-fed4-4e20-9447-094df6fd0ffe/panel-wlan-alt-04-wlan-v2.png) *Toggle ① and network ②.* ## Step 5: Enter password Android asks for the password, and the keyboard appears. - ① Enter your WiFi password. Pay attention to uppercase and lowercase letters. - ② Tap **Connect**. ![Android password prompt for Camper-WiFi with keyboard displayed, input line and Connect button numbered 1 and 2](https://university.revotion.app/api/public/university/image/images/3505b402-fed4-4e20-9447-094df6fd0ffe/panel-wlan-alt-05-passwort-v2.png) *Password ① and Connect ②.* ## Step 6: Check connection and return The panel connects. This may take a few seconds. - ① Under your network name, it shows **Connected**. The WiFi symbol appears in the top right of the status bar. - ② Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen. You're back in the REVOTION interface. ![Android WiFi settings, under Camper-WLAN it says Connected, an arrow at the bottom shows the swipe gesture upward, numbered 1 and 2](https://university.revotion.app/api/public/university/image/images/3505b402-fed4-4e20-9447-094df6fd0ffe/panel-wlan-alt-06-verbunden-v2.png) *Connected ① and back to the REVOTION interface ②.* ## What comes next - The panel remembers the network and will connect automatically in the future. - With WiFi, you can update the app. You can see the status in the side menu under **Settings** in the "App Update" section. - From app version 1.2.14 onwards, the panel has a "WiFi" tile in settings. This lets you switch networks without leaving the REVOTION interface. ## If something doesn't work - **The panel won't connect:** Usually the password is incorrect. Tap your network again and enter the password once more. - **Your network is missing from the list:** Wait a moment, Android will continue searching automatically. If that doesn't help, move closer to the router or open a hotspot with your smartphone. - **Your iPhone's hotspot doesn't appear:** On your iPhone, enable "Maximize Compatibility" under "Personal Hotspot". - **Switch networks:** Follow the same steps again and tap a different network. --- All articles of the REVOTION University: https://university.revotion.app/en/llms.txt
