Peephole Cam wifi setup fails consistently
I am trying to setup a Peephole Cam and it consistently fails to connect to to my wifi. I used two phones and two different wifi routers (I used the 2.4 GHz frequency). I followed the steps noted here and step nine fails. I never get the option to choose my wifi network. It immediately skips to fail. Here is the outline of my steps: 1. With my mobile connected to my wifi router with Internet access and I launched the setup wizard. 2. I got to the \ step and proceeded. 3. I chose \ and scanned the code on the device. 4. I selected the location that I had setup before hand. 5. I named the Peephole device. 6. I chose \

Hi Thanks for responding. I tried a third Andriod phone and I was able to get it to work in the first try. Location services were turned on, bluetooth was on and Smart Switching was off. I still don't know exactly why it worked because I had those same settings on the other two phones. It was very strange! I forgot to update and close and accept this solution. Cheers Anson

Hi @hotarobin. You've done a good deal of troubleshooting already, so I'll just suggest this. Try resetting the device by pressing and holding the setup button for 20 seconds, then releasing. Then, on your phone, make sure location is turned on, bluetooth is turn off, wifi assist/smart network switch is turned off and there an no special characters in your wifi password. This should allow you to setup your device. Another test would be to see if you can connect your Peephole Cam to a wifi hotspot. That will tell you if there is a network problem. I hope this helps!
