Networking and Upgrading

To better experience the Bianbu operating system, we strongly recommend that you use the network, as you can access more applications and the latest operating system we release.

Network Connection

The way Bianbu OS connects to the network is very simple. It is divided into two connection methods: wired network and wireless network. The following describes the two network connection methods separately.

Wired Network

The wired network supports the DHCP mode, so when you plug in the network cable, the system will configure the network by itself and connect to the network. Image of Wired Network

Wireless Network

If you cannot use the wired network, you may need to choose the wireless network to connect to the network. Before using the wireless network, please make sure that your K1 is installed with a wireless network card. When the network card is installed, we will open the icon of network connection and select the wireless network.
