Player - WiFi Connectivity Issue

Hey all, still very new to the Kemper universe. Is there a way to have the Player connect to my home WiFi without having to connect it to a PC?

When I enable WiFi on the unit, it defaults to Hotspot mode. When I connect it to a PC and use RM, I can connect to my home network.

But, as far as I can tell, once I disconnect it from the PC, it defaults back to just enabling Hotspot mode.

Thanks

I'll try again but I suspect the Player will always default to Hotspot mode. I think Kemper's reasoning would be that if you take the unit out on the road, you have no way to connect it to any WiFi service unless you bring a PC with you. Mobile RM doesn't let you adjust WiFi settings.

Therefore, when you turn on WiFi mode on the Player, it currently only goes into Hotspot mode. I think that's what's happening but would appreciate confirmation from Kemper.

Ok, I'll give it another try and let you know.

Ok....

• Changing to home network in RM worked fine
• Disconnected from PC, WiFi/BT button turned yellow (I guess to show it's connected to my home network as it's normally green in Hotspot mode)
• Connecting to the Player with my device (also connected to my home WiFi) worked fine
• Rebooted the Player, I can still connect to it via my Home network - yay!
• Turned off WiFi at the Player, turned it back on and it's still in Home Network mode - great

But, if I want to take this out and use it at a gig and be able to connect to it via my tablet or phone, how do I get it back into Hotspot mode without having to remember to switch it back on the PC?

Thanks for the help so far.

IIRC: pressing *very* long resets all wireless settings (but here I'm not completely sure.. will have to check)

That would be helpful. Wish there was a way to tell it to connect to my local network and another way to tell it to activate its Hotspot.

You have a good memory. From the manual:

Hold this button for longer to deactivate both Bluetooth® as well as Wi-Fi.

To get back into the default modes:

Reset

Hold the Bluetooth®/Wi-Fi Button for about 15 seconds to clear any Bluetooth® devices and Wi-Fi networks, and return to Access Point Mode.

You can easily switch between Network Mode and Access Point Mode by holding down BANK whilst pressing the BT/WiFi button. You do not need to reset the data at all.

What? Really??? I gotta try this!

That worked like a charm. Thanks very much!
