Go to software Beam Studio > Menu > Machines > Test Network Settings
Fill in the Target device IP Address column with the machine IP address.
Press Start and the test will start running.
The statistics include Network Healthiness and Average Response Time. The Network Healthiness should be >95%, the Average Response Time should be <100ms. If the machine IP address is keyed in but the machine is still not found, please update the software to the latest version. If the connection issue persists, please contact FLUX Support.

IP Address Starts With 169.154

If the IP address starts with 169.154, it should be a DHCP setting issue, please contact your ISP (internet service provider) for further assistance.
If your computer connects to the internet directly using PPPoE, please change to using the router to connect using PPPoE, and enable DHCP feature in the router.
If you don't know what DHCP is, consider Directly Connect with a Network Cable.
