    Default Kulp K4-PB Wifi setup confusion

    I purchased two Kulp K4-PBs. One of them I need to configure with a wifi dongle in FPP. How do I setup the dongle in FPP when I can't communicate with it? I am able to configure with USB to Ethernet, but wlan setup is not available unless dongle is plugged in. Pretty sure I fried one board by miss-reading the note taped to the bag. My fault. Can I plug in a USB hub so both usb to ethernet and dongle can be plugged in at the same time? Manual seems confusing to me. Afraid to mess up a second board. Some direction would help. Thanks

    I would suggest you get a USB Ethernet adapter with a built in USB hub. This way you can configure the K4 through Ethernet while your USB dongle is plugged in allowing you to configure the WiFi side.
    I use 5 of these. I love the small size and large pixel count these controllers provide.

    Thank you, I ended up using the USB Hub to get things working. Was able to get the USB Ethernet adapter and dongle to connect at the same time. That allowed me to configure the dongle. I am also beginning to like these conrtollers.
    The small size with large pixel count a step up from my E1.31 Bridge. Plus the ease of running several props from on network connection. I can see adding more in the future. Thanks for the reply.
