# How do I change the network server of a network node?

Changing the network server of a node may be necessary if you are migrating to a new server infrastructure or troubleshooting connectivity issues.

||| Important: Only proceed if you are certain the change is required. Updating the network server may temporarily disconnect the device from the network.

## Steps to change the network server of a network node

##### Access the communication menu

* Navigate to the device page in cThings Cloud.
* Hover over the **Network Node **dropdown located in the top-right corner.
* This menu may look different on some nodes but will always contain an **Edit Communication **block.
* Select **Edit Communication** from the dropdown to open the communication configuration menu.

##### Select the appropriate communication type

* Within the communication settings, you will see the available communication types for the node.
* Select the **LoRa** tab to manage LoRaWAN-specific settings, including the network server.

* After updating the network server, your device may take several minutes to reconnect.
* Not all devices will reconnect automatically, and for those that do, there may be a defined interval between rejoin attempts.

||| Ensure that all related network configurations (e.g., DevEUI registrations, security keys, relay profile) are properly configured on the new network server to avoid connectivity issues.
