Prerequisites:

If a Wi-Fi device does not connect to your network, this may be due to:

  • An incorrect Wi-Fi password.

  • A password format not supported by the device.

  • Poor local Wi-Fi connection quality. 

To connect your Wi-Fi device correctly, meet the following requirements:

  1. Unplug any other Wi-Fi transmitter (e.g., repeaters). Only your router should transmit the signal during pairing and testing.

  2. Your Wi-Fi password must contain only uppercase letters, lowercase letters, and numbers. No special characters, punctuation, accents, or cedillas.

    Some products cannot handle or translate certain characters. Example:

    • Invalid Wi-Fi password: Dn48Jk!9-F2@mé
    • Valid Wi-Fi password: Dn48JkL9xF2ame
  3. Wi-Fi encryption must be WPA2. WPA and WPA/WPA2 encryption should be avoided because they create vulnerabilities and malfunctions with our devices. WPA3 and WEP are not compatible with our devices.

Disconnecting your phone from its Wi-Fi network:

  1. Select the Wi-Fi network to which you will connect your Wi-Fi device.

If your smartphone indicates that the Wi-Fi password is incorrect, here are some tips:

  • Check the label on your internet router for the security key.
  • If your router has a screen, display the key on it (see the user manual).
  • Access the router's administration page to check the password (if necessary, consult your provider's FAQs).
  • Contact your carrier or network administrator for help.

If your Wi-Fi password is correct but the device does not connect, check the encryption, frequency, and network quality. Use a Wi-Fi analysis app or contact your carrier or network administrator.
