Please call for customer support: 866-246-2008

Q: Why is my device failing to connect to my Wi-Fi network?

Make sure your phone or tablet is successfully connected to

the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network that your device will be placed on.

You may ﬁrst need to enable and allow location services on

your phone or tablet to ﬁnd nearby devices.

If your Wi-Fi network is a mixed 2.4GHz/5GHz network, try using

AP pairing mode for better results.

If you still have issues with your mixed network, you may need

to access your router settings and/or call your Internet Service

Provider to create a separate 2.4GHz network.
