• If you are using a Samsung or a Pixel phone there is a feature where it will block access to a WiFi network that does not have internet access and will turn on your mobile data instead. Once you connect to the Nexx Garage WiFi if you get a prompt on your notification screen saying that there is no internet connection you’ll have to select the option to stay connected to the Nexx Garage WiFi network.
• Nexx Garage does not work on 5Ghz and has to be connected to a 2.4Ghz network. Some newer routers broadcast both under the same WiFi name. You’ll have to separate them into two different WiFi names and connect the Nexx device to the one that is 2.4Ghz. If your router doesn’t provide you an option to separate them (Google WiFi / Eero Systems) you can try creating a guest network that is on 2.4Ghz and connect the Nexx to that network instead.
• When doing the setup, make sure that mobile data and bluetooth is turned OFF. Just make sure that only WiFi is turned ON.
• Another workaround is to turn off your router completely and create a WiFi hotspot on your phone that has exactly the same WiFi name and password as your home network. Connect the Nexx device to the hotspot and once it is connected turn off your hotspot and turn the router back on. Usually that “tricks” the Nexx device into connecting to your home network.
• If you were able to successfully connect the device to WiFi but then the device frequently disconnects from the network check your device signal strength under Menu - About Device. We recommend a signal strength of at least 40. If you have less than 40 you can add a range extender to boost the signal or try moving your router closer to the garage.
