orbi cbk 40? and 2.4 smart appliance
I thinh I have the Orbi cbk 40 and just bought a smart kitchen appliance that only works on 2.4 band. the problem is when I try to log in on the kitchen device it say incorrect password/refuse to con...
Guest network seems to have worked although it said bad network it booted up.
it is called a Tokit. It is also not 5g compatible. i also have a smart oven and that connects with no problem.
Fascinating that I am totally unable to find any sort of installation or user manual on the web site.
Good old Google found a User Manual here: https://www.manua.ls/tokit/omni-cook/manual
Unlike so many Internet of Things (IoT) devices which use a smartphone app for setup, this Tokit gizmo has the user make a WiFi selection on the screen and physically enter the password.
As the device has only a 2.4G WiFi chip, it can detect only 2.4G WiFi networks. Thus if the Tokit shows the Orbi WiFi Service Set IDentifier (SSID), it must have detected the Orbi 2.4G network. None of the typical smartphone app "requires 2.4G problems" would seem to apply.
Also, the CBK40 system is WiFi5 (802.11ac), so the issue that affects some IoT devices when connected to WiFi6 systems is also not a factor.
Is there anything unusual about the WiFi password?
I would be tempted to enable Guest WiFi on the CBK40 and give it a very simple password, maybe something like "tokitsucks", and see if it will connect.
