Solution:
- Go to Settings
- Click Apps
- Click
- Gear Icon

Android ADB over TCP/IP can be a bit of a pain to setup. Some devices have a built-in option to enable this (by default on port 5555), otherwise you have to connect through USB first, then use ADB to enable TCP/IP:
I got it to work without being root, but on some devices you need to be.

Note that while writing this, ADB For Chrome could not run over TCP/IP.

Trick:
use “
netcfg” to list all available devices
It will show you the IP addresses associated with them too.
On my OnePlus One, it was wlan0.
