Orbi connecting to Anova 2.4 only
Hi, Currently trying to connect my Anova wifi to my wifi mesh setup Orbi RBR850. The Anova will only connect to 2.4ghz and will need to be the same one the phone is connected to. Is there anyway...
Sory, forgot to post the link to directions:
Thanks for the reply. I've tried all the different Anova guides and tutorials to try to connect to the same results.
Everytime I try to connect, it always gets stuck for at the below screen, i've previously let it run for up to 30mins. This screen appears after inputting the wifi password.
Didn't happen before switching to Orbi.
Quite a puzzle. The Bluetooth connection would imply that how the smartphone is connected is not relevant to the Sous Vide device WiFi connection process.
What happens when you deliberately give the Anova incorrect credentials?
- A WiFi SSID that does not exist
- The correct SSID, but a clearly incorrect password
Does it go into the infinite "waiting", or does it give an error?
I just ran a few test, putting in incorrect SSDI and password still goes into the same loading page, might be because the phone is still on the Orbi network.
When I setup a completely different network, not Orbi, connecting the phone and Anova to that network works so looks like the WIFI on the Anova still works.
Any tips would be helpful!
TIA
