Network Connection

There are two methods for network connection. One is Ethernet and the other is WIFI.

Ethernet Connection

You can use a network cable (one end connected to the external network port or route) to connect your ROCK 3 to the network. The ROCK 3 will automatically configure the network for your surfing on the Internet.

To test the Ethernet, we need to follow the steps:

Check whether the Ethernet is normal by command, ifconfig, which would show us a network card, eth0, and the Ethernet IP address. Also, use tool, ping, to connect to a normal domain.

 $ ifconfig
 $ ping www.baidu.com

If failed to connect to a normal domain. , try

 $ sudo dhclient eth0

WIFI Connection

When there is not a network cable for your ROCK Pi N10 the WIFI connection is another good choice. ROCK Pi N10 supports 2.4G/5G WIFI wireless network.
