Why can't I use wireless and wired LAN at the same time on my Hitachi Projector?
- B
  bsmithAug 26, 2025
  You cannot use wireless and wired LAN at the same time because the same network address cannot be used for both. To resolve this, set different network addresses for wireless LAN and wired LAN. Alternatively, you can set the default gateway of either wired LAN or wireless LAN to 0.0.0.0, allowing either wired LAN or wireless LAN to access different networks.
