ClawBox needs an internet connection to reach your AI provider and chat channels. Plug an Ethernet cable into the ClawBox before powering on. It connects automatically — no configuration needed. This is the most reliable path for first-time setup.

​
Wi-Fi

From the setup page at http://clawbox.local:
1

Open network settings

Go to the Network section of the setup wizard or settings.
2

Select your network

Choose your Wi-Fi network from the list and enter the password.
3

Confirm

Wait for the connection to confirm. The device keeps your network saved for next boot.
Double-check the Wi-Fi password if the connection fails — a wrong password is the most common cause. The setup page will tell you when authentication fails.

​
Finding the device IP

If clawbox.local won’t resolve on your network, locate the ClawBox in your router’s connected-devices list to get its IP address, then browse to http://<device-ip>.
