Troubleshooting
Problem | Solution |
---|---|
The smart hub is not connected to your home network and has no internet connection. The red LED is flashing. |
|
The smart hub is connected to your home network but has no internet connection. | Check your home network internet connection. You can use your smart hub in your home network without an internet connection. |
I want to connect the smart hub to a different network. The red LED is not flashing. | Reconfigure the smart hub’s Wi-Fi network connection:
|
The smart hub is connected to a Wi-Fi network whose SSID was set to “hidden” after the initial connection with the smart hub. The smart hub won’t reconnect to the hidden SSID. | Make the SSID visible again. The smart hub should automatically reconnect to the Wi-Fi network after a few minutes. If this is not the case, do a reboot or power cycle of the smart hub and check again if it reconnects (see LED behaviour smart hub). |
