Ethernet vs Wifi
My V6 is coming this Wednesday, I have one burning question.
If I were to set up the V6 by ethernet, is it possible to switch to wifi at a later date, is there a option in the menu system to switch?
On the other hand if I were to set up the V6 by wifi, can I use ethernet at a later date?
Thanks

Re: Ethernet vs Wifi
Yes, and Yes.
One thing to note - the WiFi menu won't appear whilst you're connected via Ethernet.

Re: Ethernet vs Wifi
once you have set up Wifi - it remains stored.
So if you have the Ethernet connected that takes over - unplug it and WiFi is automatically restored.

Re: Ethernet vs Wifi
I plugged in a Ethernet cable from the start, no issues so far.
