2.Make sure that the controller’s Wi-Fi indicator LED is on (if the LED is not solid
green, the controller is not connected to Wi-Fi).

The controller will not connect to my Wi-Fi network.
1.Connect your mobile phone to the same Wi-Fi network that you want to use, then
hold your mobile phone near the controller.
2. Check your Wi-Fi status on your mobile phone. If the signal strength is weak, the
connection may fail. To improve your Wi-Fi signal, you can move the router closer to
the garage or install a Wi-Fi extender midway between the controller and your Wi-Fi
router.
3. Make sure that you are using a 2.4GHz network. Some routers have only their 5GHz
network on by default. Use your router’s setup process to enable the 2.4GHz network.
4 .Make sure that the security option on your router is set to WPA/WPA2.
5. Move the controller inside your home close to your Wi-Fi router and set up its Wi-Fi
there, then move it back to the garage and check to see if Wi-Fi is re-established. If
green LED blinks after a minute from power-up, the Wi-Fi signal in the garage is weak
and will need a Wi-Fi extender.
6. .If you are using the controller in a detached garage, you will need to install a Wi-Fi
extender to boost the signal in the garage.
7. If the LED indicator blinks green, it means that wrong password or internet signal
error or issue, please check.
