  • 1. How to Connect the Device If There Is No Wifi Password?
    1. How to connect the device if there is no wifi password? When you connect your device to network and your router does not have a wifi password, you do not need to enter the password. Simply click on “Confirm” to go on. 2. How can devices be connected without wifi and only mobile hotspots? You need two smartphones that can provide a network hotspot. One phone turns on the hotspot as the network provider and the other can connect to the device. 3. Why can't I connect to network with Fritzbox 7590 & Ritzbox 7590 routers? Routers of this type use the same SSID when distributing 2.4G and 5G networks, they are not separated, so you cannot distribute network by EZ mode (default). You are advised to distribute network by AP mode (compatible). 4. The Wi-Fi indicator light flashes quickly but network distribution unsuccessful 1) If the indicator light flashes quickly all the time Please re-try or restart the Wi-Fi module. If it still does not work, please submit the model number of the router and the phone in Feedback, we will verify and process for you. 2) If the indicator light is out after the quick flash all the time Please check if your phone can access the external network when connecting Wi-Fi, and check if the name and password for the Wi-Fi is correct in network distribution; please remove the device and re-try after confirmation. 3) The indicator light stays on after the quick flash Please pair and test the network after removal, if it still does not work, please provide the information below in Feedback page, we will verify and proceed as soon as possible.
