# What Wi-Fi configurations does the alea network require?

The alea system can connect to the Internet via both LTE (mobile data) and Wi-Fi. If you experience connection issues when using LTE, you should set up a Wi-Fi network for the alea system.

**Wi-Fi Settings**

The Wi-Fi network should meet the following requirements:

- Encryption: **WPA2 or WPA3**
- Automatic IP assignment via **DHCP**
- Functioning Internet access
- Functioning **DNS resolution**
- No login page / no captive portal, such as those found in guest Wi-Fi networks
- Fixed SSID + PSK (provided upon request)

**Required Port Openings**

The gateways must be able to access the following connections:

- \*.aleacloud.de
- **TCP Port 443**
- **TCP Port 8883**

These connections must not be blocked by a firewall, proxy, or content filter.

**Important for stable operation**

Please ensure that the Wi-Fi remains available at all times, even at night, and that routers, access points, or DNS services are not regularly shut down or restarted automatically.

If multiple Wi-Fi networks or VLANs are present, the network being used must have normal internet access to the services listed above.
