# 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.
