In this section, you can adjust settings for the internet, IP settings, and Wi-Fi channel.

Connect to 5 GHz Wi-Fi Router/AP¶

Connect the Pro Dongle to your Wi-Fi router.

Note: The EZCast Pro Dongle II can only connect to a 5 GHz Wi-Fi router unless you have enabled Legacy Mode (2.4 GHz Wi-Fi).

Remember Wi-Fi¶

If the connection between the EZCast Pro Dongle II and the internet/router should be permanently saved, this option must be enabled. Otherwise, the connection will not be automatically restored after a restart.

Wi-Fi IP Settings¶

Assign a static IP address to the Pro Dongle II or enable automatic IP addressing (DHCP).

Change Wi-Fi Password or Hide It¶

Set a custom password for the Pro Dongle's Wi-Fi and choose whether to hide the password for security reasons.

Wi-Fi Channel¶

To avoid interfering Wi-Fi signals, you can adjust the Wi-Fi mode.

Admin Settings¶

In this section, you can update the EZCast Pro II receiver to the latest firmware, reset to default settings, and configure many other advanced settings.

Admin Password¶

Change the admin password of the receiver.

Wi-Fi Enterprise¶

Upload a digital certificate.

Which method should you choose?¶

WPA2 EAP-MSCHAPv2 (also known as PEAP-MSCHAPv2)¶

• ✅ Upload: Only the file CA.pem
• ❌ No client certificate or private key required
• 🔑 Authentication: Via username and password
• 🔐 Purpose of CA.pem:
  It is used to verify the certificate of the RADIUS server, so the device only accepts trusted servers.

✳️ In the EZCast menu, you must also enter a username and password.
The CA.pem file only protects you from accidentally connecting to a fake server.

WPA2 EAP-TLS (Certificate-based Authentication)¶

• ✅ Three files are required:
• CA.pem – Trusts the server certificate
• Certificate.pem – Identifies the device

• Privatekey.pem – The corresponding private key for the certificate

• ❌ No username or password required

• 🔐 Authentication: Is performed through mutual verification of certificates

• ✳️ All three files must match:
  The client certificate (Certificate.pem) must be signed by the CA (CA.pem),
  and the private key (Privatekey.pem) must belong to the certificate.

Host Permissions¶

Control which functions the Host can perform in the Advanced Settings menu without logging in as Admin.

For example, if you want to prevent the Host from accessing the Settings button in the software/app, you can set the Device Management option to Off.

With the above configuration (disabling Device Manager Control and Network Setup Control), only the Conference Control and Restart functions are displayed. Note: The Connected Devices and About the Device sections are always available.

Host Control¶

The first user to connect via the software/app is designated as the Moderator (Host), while others are Guests. By default, every request to share must be approved by the Host, who responds with either Allow or Deny:

Automatically Approve Requests

If Automatically Approve Requests is set to On, sharing requests are approved automatically.

Screen Sharing

By default, this function is enabled, allowing up to four devices to share the screen simultaneously (Split-Screen mode). If Screen Sharing is turned off, the next approved sender takes over in Full Screen mode.

The status of Host Control settings is displayed at the bottom of the homepage:

Internet Access Control¶

Control whether connected devices can access the internet via the EZCast Pro II receiver. By default, all devices are allowed:

SNMP¶

Enable SNMP V3 support.

My Screen¶

If desired, you can replace landing page image. This is a permanent change. After uploading a new image, the previous image cannot be restored, even after resetting the device.

Download our default landing page image here.

Dynamic Wallpaper¶

Dynamic Wallpaper is a feature that automatically starts after a configurable period of inactivity, displaying a collection of images or videos on the screen.

For a comprehensive guide on using Dynamic Wallpaper, see here.

OTA Update URL¶

Specify an OTA server.

CustomSoftAP¶

Specify an IP address range for the EZCast Pro device's hotspot:

Connection (Network Interfaces)¶

There are two ways to connect to the receiver. During initial setup, the EZCast Pro device provides Direct Connection and Via Router by default.

Direct Connection¶

Connect your device (e.g., an iPad) to the EZCast Pro device's hotspot via the displayed SSID. Internet content is then relayed from your Wi-Fi to your device. This provides the best bandwidth between your device and the EZCast Pro device if the distance to the access point is large. For Direct Connection, the user must switch from their current network to the EZCast Pro device's SSID.

The SSID and password for Direct Connection are displayed at the top of the homepage:

Via Router¶

The EZCast Pro device is connected to the Wi-Fi by the administrator. Internet content is relayed from your network infrastructure to your device. Next, connect your device (e.g., an iPad) to the EZCast Pro device. With this interface, the user does not need to switch networks.

By default, both network interfaces are enabled with the Via Router or Direct Connection setting. However, you can disable one by switching to either Direct Connection Only or Via Router Only:

With the first two options (Via Router or Direct Connection and Direct Connection Only), the SSID and password are displayed on the homepage, as shown below:

With Via Router Only, the EZCast Pro device's hotspot is disabled, and you can only connect via your access point or infrastructure. The SSID and password are grayed out, and the IP address assigned by the infrastructure is displayed on the homepage:

Fixed Host¶

Designate a specific user as the permanent Host for presentations in the software/app. For more information, see here.
