# Connecting to Network

The Gateway Pro needs internet access for Aranet Cloud and firmware updates.

Use either **Wi‑Fi** (wireless) or **Ethernet** (wired).

### Open network settings

You can open the network screen in two ways:

* From the **Home Dashboard**, press the **Wi‑Fi** or **Ethernet** tile.
* From **Settings**, open the network settings screen.

#### View details or disconnect

Press the **Wi‑Fi network name** to open network details. This works only when connected.

If the last attempt failed, re-enter the password when prompted.

{% hint style="info" %}
Check that your router is powered. Check that Wi‑Fi is enabled.

If needed, restart the Gateway Pro:

* Unplug the power.
* Wait 5 seconds.
* Plug the power back in.
  {% endhint %}

#### Advanced Wi‑Fi settings

Use **Advanced** when:

* the Wi‑Fi network is hidden, or
* you need a static IP or custom network settings.

Press **Advanced** on the Wi‑Fi list screen.

### Ethernet (wired)

Plug an Ethernet cable into the Gateway Pro. Wait for the connection result.

Before connecting, you can verify IP settings. From the **Home Dashboard**, press the **Ethernet** tile.

With **IP configuration = Auto**, the Gateway Pro uses DHCP. Use **Manual** for a static IP.

To change the mode, press **IP configuration**. Select **Auto** or **Manual**. Enter network details if required.

Connect the cable and wait. The Gateway Pro shows success or failure.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.aranet.com/gateway/gateway-pro/gateway-pro-configuration/connecting-to-network.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
