 How to set Tivizen's network mode? (Tivizen app)
Solution As of Tivizen 1.2, the Tivizen device can be used in 3 different network modes:

Hotspot mode: This is the default mode present since the first version of Tivizen. Tivizen creates its own hotspot to which your iOS device or Mac/PC connects to directly.

Home network mode: Tivizen connects to your existing Wi-Fi network rather than creating its own hotspot

USB mode: Tivizen is connected via USB to your Mac or PC and can be used as a USB TV tuner. Note that Tivizen works by creating a USB Network interface, much like a USB Ethernet adapter.

Note: USB mode can be set via Tivizen app but can only be used with a Mac or a PC. To know more about this mode, see How to set Tivizen's network mode? (EyeTV)


1) Setting hotspot mode

As this mode is the default one, nothing must be done to enable it. In case you were using another mode and want to revert to the hotspot mode, just go to Settings > Tivizen xxxxxx Settings and turn off USB mode and Home Network Mode.

Note: If for any reason you cannot access  the Tivizen xxxxxx Settings dialog anymore, you may need to reset your Tivizen to factory default to revert to hotspot mode. For resetting the device, see How do I reset Tivizen to factory settings?



2) Setting USB mode

Before enabling USB mode, please disconnect Tivizen from your Mac or PC. Now, connect to Tivizen via its Wi-Fi network and turn on USB Mode box in Settings > Tivizen xxxxxx Settings > USB Mode.
 
Notes:
  • USB mode can be set via Tivizen app but can only be used with a Mac or a PC. To know more about this mode, see How to set Tivizen's network mode? (EyeTV)
  • While USB mode is enabled, when Tivizen is connected via a USB cable to your Mac or PC, it will not be reachable via Wi-Fi.


3) Setting home network mode

To enable Home Network mode, connect to Tivizen via its Wi-Fi network and turn on Home Network Mode box in Settings > Tivizen xxxxxx Settings > Home Network Mode.

Now, scroll to the bottom of the window and select the nearby networks you want to add to the known networks by tapping on the + button in front of its name.

After selecting your nearby network, enter its password (if prompted) and confirm that you want to switch to the chosen network.

Finally, switch the Wi-Fi network of your iOS device away from Tivizen’s own Wi-Fi network to the network you selected above. Tivizen is now available to all your computers and iOS devices in your Wi-Fi network. If your Wi-Fi network is bridged to Ethernet, you can even use Tivizen via that connection. If you are on the road, and Tivizen does not find any of the stored home networks, it will switch into the regular hotspot mode. When you return home and switch on Tivizen, it will automatically join the last used home network.
