# Connect via Wi-Fi

## Bullet Wi-Fi Antenna

The proper method of connecting to rover via Wi-Fi is using the Bullet Wi-Fi antenna with either the omni-directional or directional antenna attached.

When using the Bullet Wi-Fi antenna, make sure the ethernet adapter on the computer is set to DHCP. The Bullet Wi-Fi antenna will automatically assign an IP address to the computer in the same subnet as rover.

Once the Bullet Wi-Fi antenna is powered on and connected, connect to Rover as a UDP Client through SpatialExplorer using the IP address **192.168.20.10** or the hostname **rover-wifi**. Refer to [Modify Hosts File](/hardware-and-interfaces/connecting-and-interfacing-with-phoenix-lidar-systems/iface_se/base-station-notebook-setup/modify-hosts-file.md) for more information.

For information on reconfiguring the Bullet Wi-Fi antenna you can find it in the below section.

{% endcontent-ref %}

## Internal Wi-Fi

When the rover is powered on, it will create its own Wi-Fi network named “phoenixXXX”, where XXX are the last three digits of the rover’s serial number. The wireless security password is “**aeriallidar**” (no quotes). Any number of devices can connect to this network, receiving an IP address in the 192.168.20.X subnet through DHCP.

{% hint style="danger" %}
This method is not recommended for long range communication. Instead, use the Bullet Wi-Fi antenna for long range communication.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.phoenixlidar.com/hardware-and-interfaces/connecting-and-interfacing-with-phoenix-lidar-systems/iface_se/connect-to-rover/connect-to-rover-as-a-udp-client/connect-via-wi-fi.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
