Network

Use the Network card on your admin dashboard to check your connections and configure Wi-Fi.

Ethernet status

The Ethernet section shows Connected or Disconnected. When connected, it also shows your IP address, gateway, and link speed when available. Your Ethernet MAC address appears when available.

Wi-Fi status

The Wi-Fi section shows whether your connection is Connected, Disconnected, or Not configured. If a saved network is disconnected, you also see its name when available. If the Wi-Fi radio is unavailable, the section shows Not available on this device.

When connected, you see the following details when available:

Field	Description
SSID	Your Wi-Fi network name.
IP	Your Wi-Fi IP address.
Gateway	Your network gateway address.
Signal	Signal strength in dBm and as a percentage.
Security	The network’s security type.
Channel	The channel, frequency, and channel width.
Bitrate	Transmit and receive rates.
BSSID	The access point’s address.
MAC	Your ProxyBox Zero’s Wi-Fi MAC address.

Configure Wi-Fi

Keep Ethernet connected while you set up Wi-Fi.

1. Select Configure Wi-Fi on the Network card. If Wi-Fi is already configured or connected, select Change Network to open the same dialog.
2. Select Scan for Networks. Once networks appear, use Rescan to refresh the list. Each result shows the network name, signal strength, bands, and security information when available.
3. Select your network. For a hidden network, select Connect to hidden network and enter Network name (SSID).
4. Enter the Wi-Fi password. Use the eye button if you need to reveal it.
5. Select Connect. The dialog shows an error if the connection fails, or Connected successfully with gateway and internet reachability results when available.
6. Wait until Wi-Fi shows Connected on the Network card before unplugging Ethernet.

Ethernet and Wi-Fi failover

Ethernet is always the active connection when connected. Once you configure Wi-Fi, it takes over automatically when you unplug Ethernet. Plug Ethernet back in and it takes over again.

Your .cloud address keeps working across the change between Ethernet and Wi-Fi. If neither connection is available, your ProxyBox is offline.

IP addresses

Your ProxyBox uses DHCP to obtain its IP address automatically on both Ethernet and Wi-Fi. Static IP configuration is not supported.

Secure Tunnel

The Secure Tunnel section shows Connected or Disconnected. The encrypted tunnel is always on and provides status reporting and remote management. Disconnected means the tunnel is not currently connected.
