Connecting to wifi

1. offizieller Beitrag

    Hi,

    I have just purchased my first shelly device and installed it in the wall behind the light switch.

    At first I could see the sheely ssid and connect to it. I picked the WiFi client option and copy/pasted the ssid and password into the fields.

    Then hit save and the shelly tried to join the wifi. When the shelly ssid came back I figured something went wrong and I then copy pasted the ssid and password back into shelly. This repeated itself a few times, but now I cannot see the sheely ssid anymore and it does not connect to the wlan.

    I suppose I need to reset it but before I do that, what limitations are there regarding joining WiFi networks? Can I have special characters in the WiFi name, maximum password length etc?

    Are there any other things I should consider? I am planning to run my shelly offline from the Internet but with home assistant.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello, I'm new on this topic and got my first Shelly 1 today. Just did some wire connexions to try it without any switch. It worked fine till I got the same issue as you.

    Wifi was running fine but the Shelly 1 kept disconnecting all the time.

    I finally figured out that the Shelly 1 was automatically connecting to the 5ghz wifi, which is not suited for it.

    So I just renamed the 5ghz wifi with another name to prevent the Shelly 1 to connect to it and now it works fine.

    I also have a client access list behaviour on the router but this appeared not to be fit for purpose.

    Hope this will help.

    Regards.

    Can I have special characters in the WiFi name, ...

    This can cause problems, and special characters in the password are also a problem.

    Thanks for the reply. I've now changed ssid name and password.

    I have some issues joining the network. Getting the following log message after authentication is successfull:

    Deauthentication sent to client because RSN is inconsistent

    Any ideas why this might be? I have also filed a case with the WiFi vendor (arista/mojo).
