Connecting LR ZS to WiFi

[fatboyfat1981]

Afternoon all,

Got a vague recollection when I “man-read” the manual that there is an option to connect to your home WiFi.

Did I dream this and, if not, what is it used for- presumably OTA updates?

Yes, you can connect to wifi, settings wifi, and search and add the wifi network you want.

What it is good for i can not tell you but yes, i would imagine, software updates would be downloaded a lot faster on your home wifi, than the 4G (Or possible worse in some area's)

Maybe, also for future streaming services, you might be able to hotspot your phone and share your phone's data, with the radio to stream music.

Is this function available in all models or just the connect. Haven't come across this yet?

Lucky enough to have fibre to my house so it’ll definitely be faster than the 4G.

You make an interesting point on hotspotting the car to a phone, could be very useful with the p1sspoor 1GB/month data allowance the car comes with.

AFAIK it’s only for the Trophy/Trophy Connect ZS, can’t be sure for the 5

Yeah i have a 300/300 fiber connection to the house and the dataplan on the mobile is 30 Gbyte, so i agree, faster downloads at home, and more data when out and about. (And the best of it all, is that the company i work for pays for both )

It's only for the Connect, it isn't on the Trophy.
