If you are planning to use Android Device with uFlix we recommend you to configure your router. Please find router configuration details in our How To Setup Page.
If you don’t have access to the router you are connected, please find uFlix setup instructions for iPhone below:
These instructions only work when you are connected to a WIRELESS (Wi-Fi) network with your iPhone. If you are on 3G/4G/LTE, unfortunately, you can not use uFlix. You have to be connected to a Wireless network.
For Android 2.3+
1. “Settings”
2. “Wireless and Networks”
3. “Wi-Fi settings”
4. Menu > “Advanced”
5. Use static IP
6. Copy current IP address (few lines above) to IP address field
7. Set Gateway as router IP (usually the same as current IP except the last number is .1, i.e. if your phone IP 192.168.2.130 then router’s likely 192.168.2.1)
