I have a v3 hub that is currently connected via Wifi. I am thinking about changing it to an ethernet connection. I have in my mind that it may be a better connection, although I am not really having any major problems, maybe it is better off just leaving it alone.
I see where I can change wifi networks, but can I change from a wifi to an ethernet connection without a factory reset?
You can just plug in an ethernet cable. The hub will remain “connected” to wifi, but will prefer using the wired connection for as long as it’s there.
I’m not sure if it’s possible to disable wifi without a soft factory reset (definitely don’t do a hard reset). You could always connect to a fake network. IIRC even an attempt to connect to a network, for instance, using an incorrect PSK will clear the currently working network config & leave the wifi disconnected.
Great! I will connect an ethernet cable and leave the wifi as is.
Sounds simple enough…Thank you!
OK…I connected an ethernet cable to the hub and everything seems to work fine. On my router device list, it shows both an ethernet connection and a wifi connection for the hub. No problems…Thanks again.
A while ago, I got a V3 hub and during setup, I set it up for wifi instead of ethernet as I didn’t have an extra ethernet port available at that time. I have since removed my old V2 hub and want to connect my V3 hub via ethernet. When I tried swapping the working ethernet cable from my old V2 hub to my V3 hub, the light on the V3 hub eventually just turns solid blue and my V3 hub goes offline. I have not found a way to rectify this. I have tried unplugging the power cable, connecting the ethernet cable while the hub is powered off, then powering the hub back on. I have tried to change the wifi configuration while connected to ethernet to see if there was a setting in there, but it just goes offline once I connect the ethernet cable.
Searching seems to show that I should be able to just plug in ethernet and that’s it…
Any ideas without a factory reset?
Anyone have any thoughts on this?
