Can not connect wifi Unit WM100
« on: January 29, 2018, 04:53:39 PM »


Ya i just got my WiFi unit today what a nice surprise after work,
So I followed all directions and the WiFi Unit will not connect to my network it see's my 2.4 GHz router and I type my password in and then hit pair on unit unit it blinks and then connect on app, but it just says can not connect. I have check my wifi setting not on 5 GHz router, tried different phones installing software after deleted it. have anyone else recieved a faulty WiFi unit? I'm hoping its just cold as the packaging was not that great.

Unplug your WM100 and let it sit for a 1/2 hour then retry.
Follow the setup instructions here:

Many are in a rush to get setup and usually miss a step.

Also retry powering down your phone then restart it.
I sounds silly but so many things can be solved with a simple restart.
Also Check to see if your phone has any security app running it has been reported these can cause issues with initial installs.

Factory reset just clears the app
blinking LED indicates it is in setup mode however if your phone is not connecting to your router with 2.4 you will not be able to setup.
If you can get to the setup to do a factory reset did you try entering the wifi wizard?

Main thing is to make sure your phone is connected to a  2.4 MHZ wifi. Unit takes the Wifi you have connected from the phone. a 5 will not work.

Bummer! That sucks.

Please... tell us about you WiFi. Is it a Cable company unit... is it yours... age/size/ capabilities. Anything you can... same with the phone. if you would. It might be helpful.

Thank you very much for sharing. I can't see anything about your setup that could even remotely look troublesome.

You stated you have lots of wi-fi devices, there may be a IP & or port conflict.
Did you try powering down the router and then back up?

I fired of an email to the guy looking after the wm100 and app this morning and included the link to your video.
If you fired off a email to support last night you should hear something back today.
In any case I'll report back anything I hear.
