Technical Support

After WiFi setup I get ERROR NO IP

The board is unable to connect to your network. Most common reasons for this are..

  • Check for incorrect network password (They are case sensitive)
  • Check the router supports a 2.4ghz network and is on WiFi channel 1 to 6 and any smart channel swapping is disabled.
a

How do I connect my board to a new network?

Press the WIFI reset button for 3 seconds to put the board back into WIFI setup mode. On Desktop Departures this is the little black button at the back. On the Classic it is the black button on the side near the power connector. On the Pro it is the green button on the side near the power connector.

a

My device will not connect to the ‘DepartureBoard’ network.

If you are just seeing a spinning icon. Give this guide a go https://ukdepartureboards.co.uk/store/dhcp-error-fix

a

The ‘DepartureBoard’ network says ‘No internet’

This warning can be ignored as at this point of the setup the board does not have internet yet.

a

The network selection page does not appear when typing in 10.0.0.1:8080

First make sure you are connected to the ‘DepartureBoard’ Wifi network on the same device. Double check exactly 10.0.0.1:8080 has been typed into the devices browser. Make sure digit zero’s have been used not letter O’s.
