    Important

  The BBPOS WisePOS E will prioritize an Ethernet connection when possible. Even if previously configured for WiFi, the reader will switch to using an Ethernet connection when connected to the dock with a plugged-in Ethernet cable. If the reader is removed from the dock, it will switch back to the WiFi connection.

  The BBPOS WisePOS E resets its priority to Ethernet when rebooting. Even if the terminal was previously configured for WiFi, the reader will switch to Ethernet if it detects an Ethernet cable connection while starting up.

  If the reader is docked but there is no Ethernet cable plugged in, it will use WiFi. Regardless of how it is connected while docked, you can still choose to connect to WiFi and manage networks on the device.
