WiFi Configuration
Configure the built-in WiFi access point on supported Simplifyd Box models
The wifi command is only available on the BXW2150C and other Box models with an integrated WiFi radio. It has no effect on Ethernet-only models.
Enabling the WiFi Access Point
wifi enable <ssid> <password>| Argument | Description |
|---|---|
<ssid> | The network name (SSID) that clients will see |
<password> | The WiFi passphrase (WPA2). Must be at least 8 characters |
Example — broadcast an access point named Office-WiFi with the password securepass123:
wifi enable Office-WiFi securepass123After running this command, the access point becomes active immediately. Wireless clients can connect using the SSID and password you specified.
Notes
- The WiFi AP shares the same LAN segment as
lan0by default. Clients on WiFi receive DHCP addresses from the same pool as wired LAN clients. - WiFi configuration set via the shell persists across reboots.
- To change the SSID or password, simply run
wifi enableagain with the new values. - You can also configure WiFi remotely through the dashboard's device settings panel without shell access.
