Figure 21. Using an intermediary Wi-Fi router or repeater to provide a static IP address
To implement this workaround:
1. Set up an intermediary Wi-Fi router/repeater whose
configuration options allow you to set a static IP address
for connecting to your network. That device must also be
configurable as a Wi-Fi client (and not just as an access
point (AP).
2. Connect the router to your network.
Note: We recommend that you test the router
using a laptop computer plugged into an Ethernet
port (as the Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN receiver
will be).
3. Set up the Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN receiver to use an
Ethernet connection (see Setting Up an Ethernet
Connection) with either a static IP address or using
DHCP according to your requirements.
4. Connect the Smart-Vue Pro LoRaWAN receiver to the
Wi-Fi router using an Ethernet cable.

Configuring "Failover"
Order for Network Access
If you have more than one internet connectivity option
installed in your receiver, the receiver can switch from one to
another in case of failure. For example, if you choose to run
ethernet as your primary connection and the connection fails
at some point, you could backup the communication channel
by also configuring the Wi-Fi data connection.
To do this:
1. Click Setup WAN Configuration.
The list below shows the priority order in which
connectivity options are used. In the case below, Ethernet
is used in priority. The receiver would switch automatically
to Wi-Fi data if communication via Ethernet fails.
2. Click the up/down arrows (1) to change network priority
order.
