INTERNET PASSTHRU
You have the option to connect your Voyager Air 2 Plus to the internet, using either Ethernet or Wi-Fi. This is useful for
accessing the internet from your tablet or phone while it is still connected to the Voyager Air 2 Plus drive. It also makes cloud
synchronization with a Dropbox or Google Drive account possible. And it allows the drive to detect, download, and install future
firmware updates.
ETHERNET PASSTHRU
On the Settings Screen, look for the Ethernet Passthru entry and press “Enable.” You will need to have a password
enabled on the Voyager Air 2 Plus. This is to prevent creating a security vulnerability on the connected network.
Once you enable Ethernet Passthru, the Voyager Air 2 Plus server will restart. This can take one or two minutes before it is
complete, so please be patient.
WIRELESS PASSTHRU
On the Settings Screen, look for the Wireless Passthru entry and press “Enable.” This will display a list of available wireless
networks. Select one and enter a password if required. If the wireless network you are connecting to requires a password,
you will need to have a password enabled on the Voyager Air 2 Plus in order to connect. This is to prevent creating a security
vulnerability on that network.
Once you enable Wireless Passthru, the Voyager Air 2 Plus wireless server will restart, and you may need to reconnect before
continuing to use the Voyager Air app. This can take one or two minutes before it is complete, so please be patient. For some
public hotspots it may then be necessary to open a web browser on your device to enable full internet access.
WIRELESS PASSWORD
This entry indicates whether a wireless password has been enabled or not. To enable a password, press “Enable” then enter
a password. The password needs to be 8 to 63 letters long, with no spaces or special characters. That password will then be
required to make a wireless connection to the drive.
If you have enabled a Wi-Fi password but do not remember it, you can follow these steps to reset the password:
1. Make sure the Voyager Air 2 Plus drive is turned on.
2. Turn the drive over and locate the small hole on the bottom (near the front).
3. Insert a paper clip into the hole, press and release. This will reset the Wi-Fi password.
Note: This reset will not impact anything stored on the drive. It only disables the wireless password setting.
