Network
On the Network tab you can configure Verox’s network connection. By default, Verox uses a wired connection with DHCP.
To switch from DHCP to a static IP, change the Configuration Method. On Static, the IP Address, IP Netmask, and Gateway fields become editable.
Click More Info to display current connection information: IP Address, Netmask, Gateway, MAC Address, Speed, and Duplex.
Tip
Use DHCP at all times. In the rare case you need a fixed IP address, use your router’s DHCP reservation feature rather than configuring a static IP on the device.WiFi
If a wireless interface is available on your hardware, enable it with Enable Wireless. Verox checks for the necessary hardware and, if found, shows a Wireless tab next to the Wired tab.
Note
On a Compute Module 4 or 5, an External Antenna toggle also appears — enable it if you’re using an external antenna instead of the onboard one.Select the Interface — Verox supports both the built-in wireless interface and external USB WiFi dongles. External dongles typically have a larger antenna than the onboard chip. See the list of known working dongles.

Tip
Although the wired vs. wireless debate among audiophiles is ongoing, ethernet is the recommended connection type. Its advantages outweigh any disadvantages by a large margin.
