How do I connect the Yodeck player to WiFi?

Required details

To connect your player to your wireless network, you will need to have the following:

  1. An Ethernet Cable
  2. One end needs to be connected to the player and the other to the router or switch. 
  3. Need to know the WiFi SSID and the WiFi Password

✅ If you do not have an Ethernet cable to use, please use the WiFi Wizard instead by following this guide here.

⚠️Keep in mind that the WiFi network name and password are case-sensitive. If you make a single-letter mistake, the Yodeck player will not be able to associate with that WiFi network.

  3. After clicking "Save," a blinking message "Configuring" will display at the bottom right of your screen. Please do not unplug or reboot the Player in this state.

  4. When the message disappears from your screen, you can safely remove the Ethernet cable.

  5. If the WiFi credentials are correct, the Player should connect to your wireless network without any issues. 

  6. Unplug the Ethernet cable and try to make some content changes to ensure that the Player responds to the new content changes via your wireless network.
