Connection options with Mr Beam
There are three options to connect Mr Beam to your computer or tablet. Choosing the most appropriate option depends on your personal usage preference and the network available at the location Mr Beam is set up in.
You can switch between the connection types at any time. If you have connected Mr Beam to your home Wi-Fi once, but then want to switch to a direct connection via Mr Beam Wi-Fi, you will need a network reset stick.
