⌨1. Here is the Old Way

In the old way, I have to use CLI or terminal to solve the technique.

Open a terminal or CLI:

Use a USB cable to connect the Android phone. (If it is a new phone, please turn on the developer mode by tabbing Settings/About Phone/Build number, 7 times.) Answer to the alert window to turn on the debugger.

Check device:

> adb devices
List of devices attached
ZY326LVCZQ      device

Set TCPIP:

> adb tcpip 5555
restarting in TCP mode port: 7575

Next, you have to find the phone IP at Settings/About Phone. Mine is :

IP address
fd80::2646:c8ff:fe41:f500
192.168.1.73
...

Back to the terminal:

> adb connect 192.168.1.73:5555
connected to 192.168.1.73:5555

Check devices again:

> adb devices
List of devices attached
ZY326LVCZQ      device
192.168.1.73:5555       device

Now, it’s ready. You can detach the USB cable.
