You can do an ICO wifi connection test if you have any doubts about the ICO's connection to your Wi-Fi network. This will allow you to assess both the quality of your home Wi-Fi network and the connectivity of your ICO.
Requirements for the connection test
Before testing, check the following information:
- Your internet box (or Wi Fi router) is working properly: do a test with your smartphone and open an internet page.
- Your smartphone is connected to your Wi-Fi network.
Connect ICO to you app via Bluetooth
- Place your switched-on smartphone near your ICO.
- In the ICO application, press the Remote control button in the bottom right corner to set-up the Bluetooth connection. The connection is established when the icon is blue.
Test the Wi-fi connection
Start the Wi-Fi connection test
- Press the Connection Test button and keep your smartphone close to your ICO for the duration of the test.
Successful test
- If the wifi connection test is successful, your ICO is correctly connected to your wifi network.
Test failed
If the test is unsuccessful, the following errors may occur:
ICO tells you:
- Incorrect password :
- redo the configuration, taking care to display the password for your box before validating the configuration.
- if this persists, ICO may be too far away
- Service unavailable
- ICO has managed to connect to your WiFi router but cannot reach our service: it is possible that your Internet connection or our service are temporarily unavailable.
- If this is the case, please try again in a few minutes.
- It may be that ICO is located too far from your box or in a place that prevents it from connecting properly to your WiFi router. If this is the case, take ICO out of your pond and run the test again, holding it in your hand with your smartphone and moving closer to your router.
- ICO may be affected if your WiFi router has a 5Ghz network with the same name as your WiFi 2.4Ghz network. In this case, you can disable the 5Ghz network on your WiFi router or give it a different name to the 2.4Ghz network. (eg: myWiFi_2.4G and myWiFi_5G)
- You have installed a WiFi repeater near your pool :
- It is preferable for the WiFi network name of your repeater to be different from that of the home WiFi box/router to avoid interference between the two.
- Also check that your WiFi repeater is not transmitting a 5Ghz network with the same name as the 2.4Ghz network.
If ICO is still unable to connect to your WiFi network, despite all your attempts, please contact the Ondilo Support Department, indicating as precisely as possible the actions you have taken.
