Wi-Fi network requirements
What the network has to offer before a device will join it: 2.4 GHz, a visible SSID, WPA2, and a channel permitted in India.
Frequency band
-
Wi-Fi should operate on the 2.4 GHz frequency band.
-
The IoT device does not support 5 GHz and will not connect to 5 GHz networks.
File system for Wi-Fi configuration pendrive
- The pendrive used for Wi-Fi configuration should have the FAT32 or exFAT file system.
Network visibility
- The Wi-Fi network’s SSID (network name) should be visible and not hidden.
Password protection
-
The Wi-Fi network should be password protected for security purposes.
-
A strong and secure password should be used to prevent unauthorized access.
-
We support the WPA2 authentication protocol.
Wi-Fi channels
-
Wi-Fi channels used should comply with the allowed channels in India for the 2.4 GHz band.
-
The following channels are permitted in India: Channel 1 (2.412 GHz), Channel 2 (2.417 GHz), Channel 3 (2.422 GHz), Channel 4 (2.427 GHz), Channel 5 (2.432 GHz), Channel 6 (2.437 GHz), Channel 7 (2.442 GHz), Channel 8 (2.447 GHz), Channel 9 (2.452 GHz), Channel 10 (2.457 GHz), Channel 11 (2.462 GHz)
A step-by-step Wi-Fi configuration manual is available as a PDF from support@iotready.com.
Please ensure that the Wi-Fi setup adheres to the above requirements, including the specific Wi-Fi channels allowed in India for the 2.4 GHz band. This will ensure compatibility with the IoT device, maintain security, and comply with local regulations.
