I am able to find my dryer on smart things but when I am instructed to connect to the dryer WiFi it does not appear. Iโve reset my router, reset my phone, waited ages, checked back after some time, over and over but the WiFi listed never appears as an option to connect to. Iโve tried starting the process while connected to both the 5G and 2.4 (or whatever the slower version of my WiFi is) and still nothing. Please help. TIA.
Are you following the connection procedure to add the dryer to your wi-fi? The connected appliances have their own internal wi-fi network, that you must connect to first, then complete the setup to link to your own home network. This has been true of any smart device I have had to set up on my home network. Read your manual. Also, smart appliances generally prefer the 2.4 gHz band because it's longer range and less prone to interference.
The internal network I have to connect to is not showing up as an option to connect to. Thatโs the problem. I have added several other devices no problem, but my dryerโs internal network is not appearing on the list of available WiFiโs. I have even tried copying the name of the WiFi and pasting it to the โother connectionโ option at the bottom of the list of WiFiโs but itโs not there.
Do you have to activate the pairing on the dryer? I ususally have to do that on my microwave, when I have to reestablish the connection (after a power outage).
