Grilla grill not connecting to nighthawk R7960p
Hey guys I cannot connect my grill to nighthawk router. I did just about everything I can think of to get it to connect. Turned off the 5ghz, disabled the wan protections and tried to connect it with ...
I have the Grilla and just upgraded to the new WiFi board. I have watched all tutorial videos on installation, first use, and connecting the new board. For the life of me cannot get it to connect to my WiFi. Yes I am on 2.4 ghz like it tells you. I follow the directions to a tee in the app the grill connects to my phone goes into searching for network. It’s searches for a network for 10 seconds or so and then a message comes up that says networks unavailable. As soon as the message comes up on my phone about networks unavailable the new WiFi board powers off and I have to start the process all over. Are there any tricks to get it connected or did I get a bad WiFi board ? I should also say the my Grilla is about 15 feet away from my router.
- That’s the same thing that’s happening to me. Grilla sent me a second board when I described the problem. Their advise was move it closer to the router (seems like you’re good there) and disable security firewall etc.
is the grilla able to see it if you hotspot your phone?
The grill hasn't seen anything. I tried the nighthawk which is my main router, hot spot, and old router and non of these worked. I tried an additional tested control board sent from Grilla and it didn't work to run the grill so my faith in the control boards are dwendiling. I should note this is trying to connect through the app that goes through bluetooth. The phone seems to find the grill everytime but the grill doesn't see any of the networks I tried. Does the grill use the connected network on the phone or does it use the phone to search available networks?
