If you’re still having trouble with your WiFi Pods, your WiFi settings might not be set up correctly. Here’s how to check them:

- 2.4GHz and 5GHz Private SSID name and password are the same

- Security type is WPA2-PSK

- All 2.4GHz and 5GHz Private SSIDs are switched on and set to broadcast

1) Launch your browser and type in 192.168.0.1 to your URL search bar

2) Enter your settings password, which you can find on the label on your Hub under ‘SETTINGS PASSWORD’

3) Click on ‘ADVANCED SETTINGS’ over on the left and from the expanded menu select the ‘WIRELESS’ tab

4) Next, select ‘SECURITY’ tab

5) Now check the numbers in WiFi Network Name (SSID) for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. They have to be the same with no hidden spaces or different numbers.

2.4 GHz Wireless Security Settings

- WiFi Network Name (SSID) has to be exactly the same for 2.4GHz and 5GHz

- WiFi Network Name Broadcast (SSID) needs to say ‘YES’

- Security needs to say ‘WPA2–PSK’

- WiFi Password (Security Key) has to be exactly the same for 2.4GHz and 5GHz

5GHz WiFi Configuration

- WiFi Network Name (SSID) has to be exactly the same for 2.4GHz and 5GHz

- WiFi Network Name Broadcast (SSID) needs to say ‘YES’

- Security needs to say ‘WPA2–PSK’

- WiFi Password (Security Key) has to be exactly the same for 2.4GHz and 5GHz

Check 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz SSIDs are enabled

1) Launch your browser and type in 192.168.0.1 to your URL search bar

2) Enter your settings password, which you can find on the label on your Hub under ‘SETTINGS PASSWORD’

3) Click on ‘ADVANCED SETTINGS’ over on the left and from the expanded menu select the ‘WIRELESS’ tab

4) Next, select ‘SECURITY’ tab

5) Now check the numbers in WiFi Network Name (SSID) for both 2.4GHz and 5GHz. They have to be the same, no hidden spaces or different numbers

Wireless Frequency 2.4GHz

Wireless Frequency 5GHz

- Make sure there’s a green tick on ‘AUTO’ for the channel option

Smart WiFi

- Make sure there’s a green tick against ‘Enable Channel Optimization’

Bridge mode disabled (added)

1) Launch your browser and type in 192.168.0.1 to your URL search bar

Thanks for the reply, I've checked all those settings ans they are as they should be, unfortunately the pods are still failing to connect.

We’re you part of the first WiFi Pod trial?

I seem to recall that we were advised not to hard reset our Hubs.

It may be your action has regressed your Hub to a level that doesn’t support the WiFi Pods.

Which Hub to you have and what is its firmware level?

[TayloFamily]

Hi Thanks for the reply. Yes I was part of the trial. I have a HUB 3. I've checked the recommended settings and still no joy. I did however, plug in  an Ethernet cable and that worked, but as a standalone pod its still not connecting.

software: 9.1.1912.304

I had to reset the HUB as it failed to start the Wifi after a powercut.

thanks.

Hello - did you ever find a solution to this? I have pretty much exactly the same issue after a hub reset. Your query is marked as solved, but all the settings given in the ‘Answer’ post seem to be fine on my hub also  

Thanks

Hi beeftrousers,

Thanks for posting and sorry to hear you're having some issues with the pods, 

Can you confirm if you've tried them in a different plug socket?

[beeftrousers]

Hello. Thanks for the reply. Yeah I’ve tried it in three different sockets and the slow-flashing white light stays on indefinitely. The only time it went off was when I tried connecting it directly to the hub with an Ethernet cable, hoping it might relink it somehow. It’s a shame as it was actually making a difference in some of the issues we were having. 

[Alex_RM]

Thanks for confirming, 

What colour is the WiFi light on the hub at the moment?

It’s just the usual white like it’s looking for a connection without ever finding one
