16. Troubleshooting
- Q1: Why I failed to set up Wi-Fi for the doorbell?
- A1: Device works with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi only, not 5GHz Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi network signal may be poor; keep the camera near the Wi-Fi router. Wi-Fi password might be incorrect or contain special characters/encryption.
- Q2: How do I know if I have 2.4G or 5G wifi?
- A2: Check your Router's user manual or contact your network provider.
