Wi‐Fi Settings Change and Recovery

Change the Wi-Fi settings on your camera (manual method)

• Download the template configure_wifi.zip and unzip its content.
• [IMPORTANT!!!] Using your favourite text editor, amend the file configure_wifi.cfg with your Wi-Fi details - don't add or remove any lines e.g., don't press ENTER after each line or BACKSPACE to remove the lines. You should only delete characters using BACKSPACE to replace them with your Wi-Fi credentials.

The reason for the above steps is described in this comment.

• Create a folder called recover on your SD card, and copy configure_wifi.cfg onto it.
• Insert the SD card into your camera
• Power ON your camera

The case was discussed along the issue #350 if you need more details.

Recover the Wi-Fi settings on your camera (manual method)

Once you change the Wi-Fi settings using WebUI, it will create a backup of the previous configuration on the SD - Example /tmp/sd/mtdblock2_20240219070942.bin

If your WiFi - Credentials were incorrect and something is not working as intended, you can recover the settings:

• Create a folder called recover on your SD card
• Rename the backup file from mtdblock2_20240219070942.bin to mtdblock2_recover.bin
• Copy mtdblock2_recover.bin onto the recover folder
• Boot your camera
