o Troubleshooting Why isn’t my smart outlet connecting to the VeSync app. • During the setup process, you must be connected to a secure 2.4GHz WiFi network. Confirm that the network is working correctly. • Make sure the WiFi password you entered is correct. ∘∘ There should be no spaces at the beginning or end of the password. ∘∘ Test the password by connecting a different electronic device to the router. ∘∘ If you’re manually typing in the SSID and password, double check that both are entered correctly.
• For advanced users, check your router configuration: ∘∘ Make sure you don’t have too many devices connected to your router on the 2.4GHz band. Your router may limit the number of devices you can connect. Turn off this limit in your router settings. ∘∘ If over 32 devices are connected to your router, you may not be able to connect your air purifier. ∘∘ Disable portal authentication. If portal authentication is enabled, the air purifier will not be able to access your WiFi network, and setup will fail.
My outlet is offline. 1. Make sure your router is connected to the internet, and your phone’s network connection is working. 2. Delete the offline outlet from the VeSync app. Swipe left (iOS) or tap and hold (Android), and tap Delete. 3. Reset the outlet (see page 24). When the outlet is reconfigured and online again, go to Device Settings, and tap Upgrade Firmware. Note: Power outages, internet outages, or changing WiFi routers may cause your outlet to go offline.
