- If pairing still fails, test with a hotspot, such as a phone's mobile-data hotspot, to see whether the home network is the cause.
- If the hotspot works, make sure the Wi-Fi network has a password and uses WPA/WPA2 for a 2.4 GHz network.
- Check that router ports 443, 8080, and 123 are open.
- Check whether MAC filtering is blocking the appliance.
