This is where you go to change WiFi networks and any settings for a particular WiFi
network.
WiFi Networks –
select this menu choice and the system will scan for available
networks. The network to which VGo is currently connected will have a large blue ball
beside its name. Other networks that have been setup but not currently being used will
have a purple ring beside their name.

IPv4 Settings
will have the values that were previously entered if your network requires
a Static IP address. Any of these values can be modified here or you can re-select a
network and change the values as part of the setup process, just as you did the first time
you went through the setup process.
WiFi Roaming and Scanning
Your VGo arrives from the factory set to always stay connected to the same WiFi access
point. This prevents your VGo from trying to scan for new access points that may not exist,
but of course limits the driving range of the VGo to within the broadcast range of the access
point. If your WiFi network is comprised of multiple access points, then you’ll want to have
VGo automatically sense when the network is getting weak and then switch to the next
access point as you are driving from one place to another.
In the wireless world this feature is called Roaming (no - your VGo will not roam about on its
own, VGo only moves when you drive it).
To turn Roaming On
First, check with your IT manager to find out what frequency is being used for the
WiFi specific network that VGo is connected to. The choices are:
o
2.4 GHz
o
5.0 Ghz
