How to connect the terminal to your Wi-FI network

Note:

  • The system requires you to only use secure Wi-Fi connections for all internet-enabled payment devices.
  • It is important you connect your Mews Terminal S1 to password-protected Wi-Fi networks that leverage either WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal encryption.
  • If you connect your Mews Terminal S1 device to a public Wi-Fi network, the payment provider disconnects you, preventing you from processing payments.
