Troubleshooting connection issues

If you are having trouble connecting your Feit Electric smart device to Wi-Fi, there are a few troubleshooting tips you can try. Firstly, check your Wi-Fi bands. Many routers have two bands, a 2.4 GHz and a 5 GHz network, and your device may automatically connect to the 5GHz band if it is closer to the router. Make sure to connect to a 2.4 GHz network as Feit Electric products are compatible with this band.

If you are still having issues, you may need to manually enable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) on your router. This feature makes connections between routers and wireless devices easier and faster. Check if your router has WPS enabled by default, or if you need to manually enable it through a button or the router's admin screen.

Another option is to reset your smart device and reconnect it using the new network name and password. If it is a bulb, turn it on and off three times. Then, follow the instructions in your Feit Electric app to reconnect your product using the correct 2.4 GHz network and password.

If you continue to experience issues, you can reach out to Feit Electric's support team for further troubleshooting assistance.

Changing router and device disconnection

Changing routers or network details can cause your Feit Electric smart device to disconnect. This is because Wi-Fi devices look for a network that matches the Service Set Identifier (SSID) and password previously saved. New routers come with a unique preset SSID and password, so your device will not recognise the new router.

If you change your router or network details and your Feit Electric device disconnects, you can address the problem in two ways. Firstly, you can update your new router name and password to match your previous router's settings. Then, reconnect your device using the new network information.

Alternatively, you can reconnect your Feit Electric device using the new network name and password. You will need to go through this process for any device connected to your network, including smart TVs, smartphones, and laptops. If your Feit Electric smart bulb is not flashing rapidly or showing it is in pairing mode, you will need to reset it. To do this, turn the bulb on and off three times. Then, follow the instructions in your app to reconnect your product using the correct 2.4 GHz network and password.

To avoid disconnection, you can move your Feit Electric smart devices anywhere within the range of your router without needing to reconnect them to Wi-Fi.

Reconnecting a smart device

If you've changed your network name, network password, or router, you will need to reconnect your Feit Electric smart device using the new network name and password. This process is the same as when you first set up your device.

First, open the Feit Electric app and turn on Bluetooth. Then, tap the plus icon in the upper right corner to add your device. If your smart bulb is not flashing rapidly or showing it is in pairing mode, you will need to reset it by turning it on and off three times.

Next, go to your Wi-Fi settings and connect your phone to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Then, return to the Feit Electric app and enter your new Wi-Fi network's name and password.

If you are having trouble connecting your device, you can try some troubleshooting tips. For example, if you have a dual-band router, make sure you are connecting to the 2.4GHz network, as Feit Electric products will not work with a 5GHz network. You can also try manually enabling WPS, which is a wireless networking standard that makes connections between routers and wireless devices easier and faster.

Moving smart devices

Moving your Feit Electric smart devices to a new location is a straightforward process, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Firstly, you can move your smart devices anywhere within the range of your router without any issues. However, if your devices lose power or you change your router, you will need to reconnect them to your Wi-Fi network.

To reconnect your Feit Electric smart devices, follow these steps:

  • Ensure your smart bulb is blinking rapidly, indicating pairing mode. If it is not, turn the bulb off and on three times.
  • Open the Feit Electric app and turn on Bluetooth.
  • Tap the "+" icon or "Add Device" in the upper right corner of the app.
  • Enter your Wi-Fi network name and password. Make sure you are connecting to a 2.4 GHz network.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process.

Alternatively, you can update your new router name and password to match your previous router's settings. This way, your smart devices will automatically connect to the new network without requiring a reconfiguration.

It's important to note that any changes to your network name, password, or router will affect all wirelessly connected devices, including your Feit Electric smart devices. Therefore, it's recommended to keep your devices updated with the correct network information to ensure a seamless connection.

Connecting smart Wi-Fi bulbs

If you are connecting your Feit Electric smart device for the first time, you will need to download the Feit Electric app from the Google Play or Apple App Store. You will also need to register to create an account. Screw your new smart bulb into the light fixture, then turn the bulb on. The bulb should pause for a moment before it starts rapidly blinking. If it does not blink, turn the light off and on three times.

Go to your Wi-Fi settings and connect your phone to your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. Open the Feit Electric app to start the connection process. Enter your network name and password to make the connection between your router and the Wi-Fi device.

If you are having trouble connecting your device, you may need to manually enable WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). This is a wireless networking standard that makes connections between routers and wireless devices easier and faster. Check if your router or range extenders use WPS. Sometimes WPS is enabled by default, but there could be a manual button or a requirement to enable WPS on your router's admin screen. Depending on your network, you may need to enable WPS to connect your Feit Electric smart device.

If you have changed your router, network name, or network password, your Feit Electric smart device may no longer be connected. To fix this, you can either update your new router name and password to match your previous router's settings, or reconnect your device using the new network name and password.
