How to configure the WGT-11 for WiFi

Highlightbox

This article explains how to configure the WiFi WAN Client feature on the WGT-11 and what you should consider to ensure a stable network connection.


1. Check WiFi WAN Client Requirements

  • Ensure that the WiFi settings of the WGT-11 match your WiFi network configuration (SSID, security mode, and password)
  • Check whether the WiFi signal strength at the device’s location is sufficient


2. Configuration Steps

  • Connect to the gateway using one of the following methods:
    • Connection via Wi-Fi:
      • Connect to the SSID: rational-xxxxxx
      • Password: rational1234
      • Open in your browser: http://10.130.1.1
    • Connection via the LAN network:
      • Connect to the network where the gateway is integrated
      • Determine the IP address of the gateway in your network
      • Open in your browser: http://IP-ADRESSE-DES-GATEWAYS
    • Direct connection via network cable:
      • Connect your notebook directly to the WGT-11 via RJ45 cable
      • Configure your notebook:
        • IP-Address: 172.31.255.253
        • Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.252
      • Open in your browser: http://172.31.255.254
        ➔ Login: Log in with the default credentials or your own:
        User: root
        Password: dragino
  2. Navigate to: Network → Wireless
  3. Select WiFi WAN Client mode from the available options
  4. Configure the WiFi parameters:
    • SSID: Enter the exact name of your WiFi network
    • Security/Encryption: Select the correct encryption method (e.g., WPA2)
    • Password: Enter the WiFi password
  6. Save the settings and restart the gateway if necessary


3. Important Notes

  • Do not enable WiFi Access Point (AP) and WiFi WAN Client at the same time
    Enabling both functions simultaneously will cause connection issues and may prevent the gateway from establishing a stable connection.
  • If you want to switch from Access Point mode to WiFi WAN Client mode:
    • Activate the WiFi WAN Client function and save the setting
    • After that, check if the WiFi Access Point mode is disabled


4. Connection Test

  • Check whether the WGT-11 is successfully connected to the WiFi in Homescreen (status: “Connected”)
  • Verify internet access and data transmission to the ConnectedCooking server


5. Recommendations

  • Prefer using WiFi WAN mode only if a wired LAN connection is not available
  • Ensure that the firmware is up to date to avoid compatibility issues with current WiFi standards
