🆕WebUI

Welcome to the new WebUI for the WLAN Pi!

If your access device is on the same network segment, the WLAN Pi WebUI is hosted at https://wlanpi-xxx.local otherwise go to https://<IP>

Attractive landing page of the WLAN Pi WebUI

https://wlanpi-xxx.local swap out xxx to the identifier for your specific WLAN Pi

We use "https" port 443 with a self-signed certificate!

You will be greeted with a "connection is not private" warning

• Click Advanced or similar option in your browser

• Proceed to wlanpi-xxx.local (unsafe) continue to the new WLAN Pi landing page

On Chromium based browsers you may need to type thisisunsafe to bypass the security warnings.

Unattractive connection privacy warning. Click Advanced > Proceed to wlanpi-xxx.local (unsafe).

If the ".local" address did not resolve, for example if your laptop is on another network segment, you will want to use the IP address of your WLAN Pi.

Menu bar

Navigating around the features of your WLAN Pi is now super easy with the new dynamic menu bar. On larger screens, the menu bar will appear at the top of the web page.

Menu items with a (downwards "⌄" chevron) have additional options.

Orange bar

While it is not quite bar-o'clock yet, let's discuss the orange strip displaying system stats. We like to keep an eye on microSD card free space, especially if you use your WLAN Pi as an FTP/TFTP server or you're saving large packet captures.

Next, let's take a look at a couple of these WebUI applications.

We will not go through these in the order they appear on your screen. Stick with us as we will come back to some of these later in a lot more detail.
