The CrownTV player supports both Wi-Fi and Ethernet. If you gave us your network credentials before shipping, your player will connect on first boot — just plug it in.
Configure Wi-Fi from the dashboard
- Sign in and go to Displays → Management.
- Find the row for the display you want to connect.
- Open the Action menu (right edge) and choose Edit Settings.
- Scroll to the Network Information section.
- Choose WiFi.
- Enter your SSID (the Wi-Fi network name) and KEY (the Wi-Fi password).
- Click Save.
The player will pick up the new credentials on its next check-in.
Use Ethernet instead
- In the same Edit Settings view, choose Ethernet under Network Information.
- Plug an Ethernet cable into the port on the back of the CrownTV player.
- Save.
Confirm the player is online
After updating the settings, open Displays → Monitoring. The Connection column shows a green dot when the player is online and a red dot when it isn’t. The Last Connection column shows when the player last checked in.
If the dot stays red:
- Double-check the Wi-Fi password (case sensitive).
- Try a different Wi-Fi network or switch to Ethernet to isolate the network from the player.
- Use Download in the Monitoring row to grab diagnostic logs, then contact support via the in-app Help button.
