Things to note:

  • Make sure your Oelo App has access to your phone's Location, Network and Data.
    • Navigate to your phone's Settings > Apps > Oelo App > Permissions.
    • If you have changed the permission, and the Oelo WiFi is not appearing, uninstall and reinstall the Oelo App.
  • Make sure you are entering your personal WiFi password correctly.
  • Make sure your personal WiFi is 2.5GHz. The Oelo Controller cannot communicate to 5GHz networks.
  • Make sure your WiFi's signal strength is strong enough. Navigate to the "Controller" tab in the Oelo App and view the available networks. If your network is not very strong, consider buying a network WiFi range extender.
