Tip: After each step please try and reconnect to wifi by going to MENU > WIFI 

Step 2: Check other devices

Please verify if other devices, such as your computer, can access the internet when connected to your home Wifi network



Info
NOTE: Please be aware that your smartphone could be using your mobile data and already have an internet connection.

Step 3: Check if your Wifi network is 5 GHz

The energyGuard Hub can only connect to a 2.4 GHz network. The main difference between the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless bands lies in their speed and range capabilities. In simple terms, the 2.4 GHz band can reach a greater distance, providing a stronger signal further away from the router. On the other hand, the 5 GHz band offers significantly higher speeds but at a shorter range from the router. If you need assistance with splitting your Wifi bands, you can refer to the guide here or contact your Internet provider.




Step 4: Restart your router

  1. Unplug your router or modem from its power outlet (don’t just turn it off)
  2. Wait 15-20 seconds, then plug it back in
  3. Allow the device a minute or two to turn back on


Step 5: Reset the Wifi Module

  1. Tap at least 7 times at 10 o’clock on the background circle
  2. Select Wi-fi Module
  3. Select Reboot Module


Step 6: Forget Network and reboot

  1. On the energyGuard Hub, go to Menu → Wifi and select Forget network
  2. Reboot the device: Menu → Device Info → Reboot
  3. Select Menu → Wi-fi and connect to the network
