FAQ¶
Why can't the device connect to the software after being connected via Ethernet, or why can't the PC access the Internet?¶

Win + R
to open the Run dialog box. - Type
ncpa.cpl
and press Enter to open the Network Connections window.
Step 2: Open TCP/IP Properties for the Network Adapter¶
- Locate the network adapter you want to configure (e.g., Ethernet, Wi-Fi).
- Right-click the adapter icon and select Properties.
- In the list, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click the Properties button below.
- In the new window, click Advanced... to open Advanced TCP/IP Settings.
Step 3: Configure Interface Metric (Priority)¶
-
In the Advanced TCP/IP Settings window, uncheck Automatic metric.
-
Enter a value in the Interface metric field:
- Lower values indicate higher priority.
- For example, a value of
10
takes precedence over a value of20
.
-
Click OK to save the settings.
