Set up A2D2 with Ethernet

Modified on Fri, 25 Sep at 10:42 AM

You can use a wired network connection instead of Wi-Fi.

  1. Connect A2D2’s Ethernet socket to a LAN port on your router, and power A2D2 through USB-C.
  2. Keep your phone on that router’s home Wi-Fi, not its guest network.
  3. Open the app. If A2D2 is ready, select it. If it needs setup, follow the setup prompt and choose the wired-connection option when offered.
  4. Allow the transition to finish, then open A2D2 and choose your output.
A2D2 found: choose Continue for Wi-Fi, Enter network manually for a hidden network, or Use Ethernet instead for a wired connection.

After choosing Use Ethernet instead, connect the cable and confirm with OK. This is the confirmation prompt, not a completed connection.

Ethernet can remain connected permanently. For diagnosis, the main router is more useful than a mesh satellite: a cable to a satellite still uses the mesh backhaul. Using Ethernet temporarily does not guarantee Wi-Fi will reconnect when you unplug it; check the saved network and setup state first.
