High quality PCB Services https://pcbway.com/g/01s7lR Welcome back to the channel! In this follow-up video, we address a common concern from my Rigol DHO800 series oscilloscope review – the lack of built-in WiFi. Today, we're diving into a fantastic solution that involves a simple hack using a TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi Adapter.

Credit goes to the knowledgeable community over at the EEVBlog forum for discovering that the Rigol's Android operating system already contains drivers for the Realtek RTL8188 chipset found in the TP-Link adapter. This makes the upgrade essentially a plug-and-play experience!

To perform this upgrade, you'll need the TP-Link TL-WN725N USB WiFi Adapter (look for WN725 ver2 or ver3 with RTL8188 chipset), a USB hub, and a keyboard. The process involves accessing the Android OS settings through keyboard shortcuts, connecting to your preferred WiFi network, and then tweaking a few settings.

Keep in mind that this isn't officially supported by Rigol, so there might be quirks. The GUI won't show WiFi connectivity accurately, and there's a chance it's not hot-swappable – meaning you should have the adapter plugged in when starting the scope. Despite these minor inconveniences, once set up, the scope will automatically connect to WiFi upon every power-up.

After the hack, you gain the convenience of accessing your oscilloscope over the network. I recommend assigning a static IP address through your router settings for consistent access.

Additionally, we tackle another gripe I had in the review – the lack of brightness control in the GUI. With the keyboard shortcuts, specifically Windows + N, you can access the Android global brightness settings, enhancing your viewing experience on the glossy screen.

This hack transforms the Rigol DHO800 series into a more versatile and connected tool. It's an excellent compromise, especially considering the affordable cost of the TP-Link adapter.
