Pale Man Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Hey all you ink bird expert people. I'm having a struggle at the moment with wi-fi on my ITC 308. Ive got a new phone and had to download the app again. Can't remember my old login to connect wifi with my new phone/app. Ive googled, you tubed and can't get it happening. It works fine manually but it would be nice to be able to control settings remotely again. Any ideas my bretheren? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you cannot connect your new phone to your wifi because you do not have your wifi name and password, I think it's gonna be tricky. You probably need to login to your router and maybe change its name and change the password to something else. However, I am not sure how to do that. Maybe @iBooz2, who is a bit of a computer genius can help. I did have something similar a few weeks ago. My Telstra modem died and we had to get a new one. So it came with a new Wi-Fi name and new modem password. Luckily, I still had the app on my existing phone. However, the Inkbird would not connect to the new modem initially. I accidentally found something called "AP" mode on the Inkbird. From memory, it allows you to use your phone to make the connection, instead of trying to get the Inkbird to connect to the router. One connection set-up mode the wifi LED flashes slowly and in the other mode it flashes quickly. I do not remember which was which. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no luck so far connecting but I also found AP mode which allowed me to change to 2,4Ghz mode on my Samsung phone but it goes through the motions, flashing, progress meter etc. but I get the error message 'failed to connect, please try again.' I found this link which may be helpful, but I will have to read it more. https://community.inkbird.com/t/q-a-inkbird-wifi-product-connection-troubleshooting/152 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otto Von Blotto Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'm confused. Are you having trouble connecting the WiFi to your new phone, or can't remember the login details for the inkbird app? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was an easy fix ( not to say yours will be ) I managed to do a re-set but yet to find out how to get the device to show in my available networks so I can choose the lower frequency. It is not obviously rocket science & I understand the basics, but I need to identify what it is going to call itself in the list. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a hint if you havent been doing so, when your app is searching for your device, hold the wifi button down on a fast flashing. I had to hold it to keep it flashing fast while it was looking. Thats where I had my success. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried it another 3 times, this time I did what you said, hold the Wi-Fi button down, it was faster searching, the light was flashing rapidly but still no connection. the message I get says: "Device not responding check demerit points and retry" - what the hell are demerit points? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was exactly the message I was getting before. Are you holding the wifi button down through the whole process? Also your modem needs to be in 4.2ghz. Mine was anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may have to go into the Router settings & configure it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
