- wifi 802.11 b/g/n @ 2.4GHz
- Broadcasted SSID (not hidden network)
- SSID (network name and password) using only ASCII characters
The Smart Alert supports WPA-PSK encryption. We recommend WPA2-PSK AES for the best security for your home wifi network.
If you are having trouble adding a network you should try these steps:
- Make sure you are in range of your router and have a clear line of sight
- Most outlets are knee high and furniture can obstruct wifi signal
- You can test the wifi strength of the Smart Alert using your phone by connecting to the same network and placing near your Smart Alert. This will not be exactly the same, but should help determine bad locations.
- Make sure your network is not hidden and you can see the name on the list when the app is searching for it.
- If you have a dual band router (2.4GHz/5GHz) ensure you are logging onto the 2.4 GHz band
- You may also want to separate your 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands with different names (SSIDs).
- Ensure your phone is connected to the same band while setting up your Smart Alert. You can change it back afterwards.
You can also try connecting your Leeo Smart Alert to another network, mifi or hotspot.
