ScreenCloud OS powers the Station P1 Pro, offering secure and reliable network configurations. Once configured, the device's network connection is intentionally restricted to maintain stability. Learn how to change the device's Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection by following the steps below.
How to change the WiFi connection on your ScreenCloud OS Station P1 Pro device
If the device is still connected to the old WiFi
Log in to your ScreenCloud Studio account and navigate to the Screens menu.
Select your ScreenCloud OS device and open the screen settings menu by selecting the Station P1 icon or Open in RDM button.
Go to the Network section.
Click Change network and enter the new WiFi details.
Ensure the device is online on both the old and new WiFi networks during this process.
If the device has lost connection to the old WiFi
Option 1: Mobile Hotspot Impersonation (For simple WiFi setups) If your old WiFi setup only used a standard name (SSID) and password (is not an enterprise network setup), you can use your mobile phone's hotspot to mimic the old WiFi network. Enable your mobile hotspot with the same SSID and password as the old WiFi. If the SCOS device connects to your hotspot, you can then change the WiFi settings to the new network through the device's settings.
Option 2: Factory Reset (Requires mouse and keyboard) Perform a factory reset to configure a new network connection. This must be done if the previously connected network was an enterprise network as the mobile hotspot impersonation method will not work.
Switching to ethernet
If the device's WiFi connection is online: go to Screens > select your device > Network > Change network, select Ethernet, and click Continue. Do not reboot or power off the device during this process — wait for the connection to switch over on its own. Simply plugging in an Ethernet cable will not override an existing, still-online WiFi connection.
If the device's WiFi connection is offline: connect a LAN cable and restart the device to connect it to Ethernet.
To reconnect the device to its previous WiFi network (which was working before you switched to ethernet), unplug the LAN cable and restart the device.
The ScreenCloud OS team is working on making it possible to change the WiFi settings from the device menu in the future, which will avoid the need of having to perform a factory reset once the old connection is lost.
