Smart Home Device Won't CONNECT To WiFi! How to connect your 2.4 GHz Smart Home Device to Wifi.
Most smart home devices work on a 2.4GHz frequency, while some home routers operate on a 5GHz frequency. This can prevent your new smart home device(s) (Alexa, Google home, smart bulbs, smart switches, & smart plugs) from connecting to your Wifi. This video shows you how to force your Wifi to connect on a 2.4GHz frequency.
Thank you! This worked! 🎉
Why do people talk so fucking slow
Doesn’t work for me. Maybe it’s because I have a 5G wifi extender?
That didn’t help even a little bit.
I was having such a difficult time until I realize that my phones vpn was on and not pairing because of it so make sure you turn your vpn off lol
Sad we have to have this video. Thank you so much. Screw corporate america
Devil Magic! Thank you!
One day very soon a hacker is going to turn off your smart fridge, turn your ac on “$$$”, and they are already watching you.
This didn’t work for me. Can you think of anything else?
You are great, I try so many ways of reconnecting and could not, today I follow your steps and boom , thank you very much have a beautiful day, and if you a dad happy father day
This shit did not work on my plug
You should subscribe to all of us for showing us nothing but telling us what we already know and can’t trouble shoot
Thank you man you saved my time
God bless you
Tried it 4 times. Did not work!!
That worked!! Thanks so much!
What if my wifi is 2.4 not 5. It still won’t connect
After listening and trying to follow all these other technical people with all their complex steps, I still couldn’t switch to 2.5 GHz. I wasted all morning frying my brain out. Took a power nap n found u. OMG, it worked. I was able to connect my wireless camera from across the street at my neighbor yard. Ty ty ty
Thank you my wifi plug is working on 5g it worked 3 minutes.Thank You..
Still not working. Have even turned of wifi 5ghz but no luck
I thought this was “clickbait” like so many other videos but this actually worked. I was like omg wooow!🤣 literally had been setting up my granny’s energizer lightbulb camera for about 2hrs.🤦🏽♀️ But this most definitely did the trick!! Thank you so much!!☺️
Do you need to connect the smart device while outside? Or go back into the house and pair?
I tried using AP mode but the hotspot doesn’t show up😢
This worked like a charm! Thanks so much.
I have to say that mine WORKED, as well. Good stuff. I DEFINITELY liked this video and EVERYONE should try and like this, too.
Lmao what a tip haha, just walk away until you connect to 2.4 🤣🤣
If it’s stupid and it works then it’s not stupid
Thanks!
Yeah that didn’t work
Thank you worked for me.
That’s not going to work with my home door bell camera..whats strange is it use to connect to the 5g that I have but it’s not anymore.
So uh i’m unsure, i toggled airplane mode, turned my light on and walked all the way to the other side of my backyard (im not sure if i should mention that the wifi is closer than the device is from my phone, i didn’t see my wifi cut out so it’s probably not far enough which would also explain it, should i try on the other side (where the device is closer) tomorrow (my wifi is also weaker from this place so it might work)
FOR THOSE WHO KEEP STRUGGLING I found out. Put it to pair in slowly mode = turn off and on 3 times waiting 2 sec between, when light is on. Then go pair it manually = hit pair new device, choose your device. Then the app its gonna ask you if its flashing slowly, rapid or still, hit the slowly option. Then the app its gonna ask you to connect to the light bulb WIFI, connect to it. AND THEN, when the app show you the 2 minutes timer, the bulb will stop flashing, but the timer will keep on, YOU HAVE TO TURN OFF THE SMARTPHONE WIFI. And should connect without problems. Tell me if this work for you. Things to have in consideration = need to have Bluetooth on, need a WIFI connection with internet connection, need a 2.4 hz WIFI band (If you saw the video you know a way to), need to have gps on, make sure the app have such permissions granted, and lastly, you should have choose the Phillips Smart Bulb 🙂
it did not work for me 😢
Thank you sir I was going crazy
I GAVE YOU THUMB DOWN YOUR INFORMATION DID NOT WORK I AM READY TO SMASH THESE NEW LIGHTS AND I WISH SOMEONE WOULD HAVE REAL INFORMATION THAT WORKS SO FAR NO ONE HAS GIVEN ME REAL ANSWERS.
I can connect to the Wifi to the Tapo LED Strip but I can’t pair it.
Actually works!! Thanks
WOW!
Aeroplane mode did the trick for me immediately. Odd.
Thanks for the tip ! It worked for me
Mine still won’t work
Your suggestion just caused me to get unnecessary exercise.
After faffing around for about an hour went to YT for help. Yours was the first video (thank goodness) and it worked like a charm! Thankyou so much! Big pat on the back to you all the way from New Zealand.😊
Wow, it actually works. Thanks!
Y’all use a hotspot to connect and update the firmware- afterwards reset and reconnect camera and set up to your Wi-Fi!!!
I spent the last 2 years trying to reconnect my bulb after switching WiFi provider and after watching this video, I finally got it to connect again, thank you so much for creating this video
I love the internet 😂 Thanks man.
Thanks it Worked💯
How am I supposed to have Internet connection if I enable the airplane mode?
this doesn’t work by the time i walk to where u said the lightbulb is done pairing wtf
Stupid Home device.
