iAqualink with new router

 So you installed a new router and now your iAqualink does not connect? Here is what you need to do:

  1. Make sure your phone is signed on to a 2.4 gHz router connection. Some routers are too "helpful" and will try to offer a 5 gHz connection. A 5 gHz connection is faster, but has shorter range. The iAqualink only works on 2.4 gHz. Sometimes it helps to set up a guest network on your router and limit it to 2.4 gHz.
  2. Go out to the iAqualink antenna and remove the cover (two Philips head screws) 
  3. Slide the switch from "wifi" to "wired" and back to "wifi." This erases your old router settings.
  4. Teach the antenna your new settings by going to the wifi settings on your phone. You will see one that says iAqualink. Sign on to that. A popup will show up with a list of wifi signals to choose from. Select yours -- remember this needs to be a 2.4 gHz signal and must be the one that your phone is already signed into.
  5. Put the cover back on and wait a few minutes for it to connect.
