Connect to a Home Network (cont.)
Using a Direct Wireless Connection
Note: This connection method temporarily creates a direct connection between your external device and the RS250 using Wi-FI communication in order to permanently configure the
RS250 to connect to the network.
1. Open your other device's Wi-Fi networks list.
2. Locate the RS250 in the list of available
networks.
3. Select the RS250 network to connect to it.
4. On your connected external device, open a web
browser (such as Firefox, Edge, Chrome, or Safari).
5. Type 192.168.255.249 into the address bar and go
to that address. Your webpage will display the RS250
Browser Interface on the Overview tab
(pictured left).
6. Select the "Settings" tab and you will be brought to
the Settings Menu (pictured right).
7. Under "Network Type," select "Wireless".
8. Press the "Apply" button.
9. Near the bottom of the page (scroll if necessary),
under "Scan Networks", there is a "Start Scan" button.
Press this to begin scanning for available networks.
10. After a short time, press the up and down
arrows in the box next to SSID to view the available
networks.
11. Select the desired network from the list.
12. Enter the network's password in the box next to
"Network Password".
13. Press "Connect" next to the box under "Network
Password". A connection confirmation notification
will appear.
14. Verify the connection light
on the RS250 is
solid. The RS250 is now connected to the network.
15. Reconnect your other device to the same network
the RS250 is now connected to.
16. For best results, return the RS250's "Network
Type" back to "Automatic". To do this, find the RS250
on the new network, type its IP address into an
internet browser's address bar, and go to that address
to return to the RS250 Browser Interface. Navigate to
the "Settings" tab, and under "Network Type", change
"Wireless" back to "Automatic".
17. Press "Apply" to confirm the selection.
You can now use the RS250 on your home network.
