You can change the Wifi using the REST interface.

From a device on the SAME LAN as your pNode, you may find the REST interface at:

http://IP_OF_YOUR_PNODE:5000/

One of the options is update-wifi. That function is apparently changing now/very soon to change-wifi under the hood. Whichever is listed when viewing the REST endpoint at http://IP_OF_YOUR_PNODE:5000/ is the correct one for THAT node’s firmware.

To change the stored Wifi network, simply make a call to the REST endpoint with a completed URI.

An example:

  • Your pNode’s REST interface lists /change-wifi
  • Your pNode’s IP address is 192.168.1.35
  • The QR code on the bottom of the pNode is 1234-567890
  • Your Wifi SSID (Wifi network name) is MyHomeNetwork
  • And your wifi passphrase is secretpassword123

Simply paste this URI into your favorite browser and the wifi network change should take effect.

http://192.168.1.35:5000/change-wifi?qrcode=1234-567890&ssid=MyHomeNetwork&password=secretpassword123

You may need to power cycle your pNode if it doesn’t connect to the updated network after 5 or 10 minutes.
