Wi-Fi and Ethernet

The Aero supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connections.

The Ethernet port runs at 100Mbps, which is more than sufficient for 4K streaming (which typically uses around 25Mbps at most). Any standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e, Cat6, or similar) will work. An Ethernet cable is not included in the box.

If you’re using Ethernet and want to disable Wi-Fi, go to Settings → Network → Wireless Network → Turn Off.

The benefit of Ethernet isn’t just raw speed – it eliminates concerns about Wi-Fi signal strength and avoids competition for wireless bandwidth from other devices on your network.

Public Wi-Fi Networks #

The Aero cannot connect to public Wi-Fi networks that require a browser-based login page (known as captive portals) – the kind commonly found at hotels, campsites, and other public venues. The Aero doesn’t have a built-in web browser to complete these login pages.

If you need to use the Aero away from home, a mobile broadband router (using a SIM card) is a good solution – it creates its own Wi-Fi network that the Aero can connect to directly.
