Connect Bridge with Ethernet

Set up Wired Ethernet for Bridge

Connect Bridge with Ethernet

Ethernet can be more reliable than WiFi (especially in busy environments).
​

During onboarding

If an Ethernet cable is detected during setup, the app may take you to an Ethernet step automatically (for example: Connect Bridge to Ethernet, then Requesting Ethernet IP...).
​

If you want to switch from WiFi to Ethernet during onboarding:
​

1. On the WiFi password screen, tap Connect another way.

2. Follow the on-screen steps to connect Ethernet.
​

If you see “Requesting Ethernet IP...”

If it takes a while, the app may show:

“We seem to be having trouble finding your IP address...”
​

Then you can tap Advanced settings to open Advanced Setup (static/dynamic network options).

From Settings (after onboarding)

  1. On the main screen, tap the Settings icon.

  2. Go to Bridge → Network.

  3. Select Wired Ethernet (if it’s active, you can open its advanced settings).

“No internet” vs “Connected”

In Settings → Bridge → Network, you may see:

- CONNECTED: Your Bridge is connected and has network access.

- NO INTERNET: A cable may be plugged in, but internet access isn’t available yet.

- DISCONNECTED: No active connection on that mode.
