With ADB Wi-Fi 2.0, we've introduced a new server stack and smarter network handling to directly address developer feedback around usability gaps. ## How ADB Wi-Fi 2.0 Improves Wireless Debugging To ensure ADB Wi-Fi 2.0 is even more reliable, we reworked all three core components of the stack: the adb server, the adbd daemon, and Android Studio. Here are the new features: - **A new server stack (adb):** Previously, wireless device connections would sever when network configurations changed or devices were turned off. This meant that connections would drop for common occurrences. With our new mDNS stack, we've replaced both Bonjour and legacy mDNS so that your wireless devices more reliably stay connected as you go about your day. - **Smarter network handling (adbd):** Previously, the workstation's mDNS client would sporadically drop services. Now, the daemon automatically turns off ADB Wi-Fi when it detects an untrusted network and re-enables itself once running on a user-allowed network. - **Improved discoverability in Android Studio:** Previously, Wi-Fi pairing was difficult to find. Now, you simply enable wireless debugging on your phone and it will show in Android Studio's Device Manager. With ADB Wi-Fi 2.0, auto-connection success rates improved by 32% and connection speeds increased by 66% for 90% of connections. ![adb-metric.png](https://developer.android.com/static/blog/assets/adb_metric_28f66239c0_15N6xk.webp) ## Getting Started You can use ADB Wi-Fi 2.0 on your phone, tablet, Wear OS, and TV. Here's how to get started: 1. Update to **Android 17** , **Android SDK Platform-Tools 37.0.0** , and **Android Studio Quail 3** or later. 2. Ensure your workstation and your Android device are connected to the **same Wi-Fi network**. 3. On your device, navigate to [**Developer Options**](https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options) and **enable Wireless debugging**. 4. Open the Android Studio Device Manager and click the **pair over Wi-Fi** icon. 5. **Scan the QR code** with your device or use a pairing code, and you're all set!
