E-ink display

Set up your display's Wi-Fi

Use this page when your display asks you to finish setup on a computer, for example after a reset. It only tells the display which Wi-Fi to join. Nothing is installed on the display and nothing is erased.

Before you start

  • A desktop or laptop computer with Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge. Safari, Firefox, phones and tablets can't do this.
  • A USB cable that carries data, plugged straight into the computer (no hub). Many cables only charge.
  • Your home Wi-Fi name and password. It must be a 2.4 GHz network.

What happens next

  1. The display joins your Wi-Fi and says “Connected!”. Give it about a minute and a half. A color e-ink redraw takes 10 to 20 seconds.
  2. It shows a 6-digit code.
  3. In Inklyng, choose Add display, pick E-ink, and enter the code.
  4. The old, grey “offline” display is still in your list. Open it and remove it.
