Your EarthRover supports connecting through either 4G (SIM) or WiFi:
4G (SIM): Recommended for the most reliable and stable experience, especially when driving outdoors or in areas without WiFi coverage.
WiFi: Works best if you have a strong, stable home WiFi network, and only if the bot stays within range of that WiFi connection.
What happens if I insert a SIM card while connected to WiFi?
If you insert a SIM card while your EarthRover is connected to WiFi, the bot will automatically switch to the 4G connection, as long as the SIM is active and has a valid data plan.
⚠️ If you want to keep using WiFi, remove the SIM card to prevent the bot from switching back to 4G.
How can I tell which connection my bot is using?
Driving on 4G: The 4G icon will appear normally with no overlay.
Driving on WiFi: A red circle will show over the 4G icon, indicating the bot is connected via WiFi instead of cellular.
