Questions and answers
Best way to determine if a device is hooked up to wire connection or wifi remotely
You can determine if a DFI EC900-FS6 device is connected via a wired connection or Wi-Fi by checking its network status. The device does not support STA mode and Soft AP mode at the same time, and when a wired LAN connection is plugged in, STA mode (Wi-Fi) will disconnect automatically due to Android network framework limitations.
To check the connection remotely, you can:
1. Use the "busybox lspci" console command to check for the presence of a PCIe Wi-Fi card.
2. Verify the network connection status through the Android UI if available.
3. Check if the Soft AP mode is enabled, which indicates the device is using Wi-Fi.
If the device is in STA mode and loses connection when a wired LAN is plugged in, it confirms that the device is prioritizing the wired connection over Wi-Fi.
