I Cannot Connect My WS-0265 To WiFi, Android.

  1. Look for the WiFi icon  in the upper right hand corner of the  weather station console. Make sure this WiFi icon is on. If it is on, you already connected to WiFi.
  2. If you own a Mesh Network (examples,  Orbi, eero or Google), temporarily turn off all of the secondary nodes, leaving only the primary node (the node connected to the Internet) powered up.If you use a Virtual Private Network (VPN), temporarily turn this off.
  3. Select your APP PERMISSIONS on your Android Device and make sure Location is turned On for the awnet app:
  4. To connect your console to your wireless router and the Internet, you must first download the awnet app  to your phone or tablet. The awnet app is only a console configuration tool and is not used to view your live data.The app is available here:
    Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dtston.ambienttoolplus

    Note    : The most common mistake is to download the AmbientTool app, which is designed for the first generation WS-0262A.
  5. (1) Press and hold the ALARM and LIGHT/SNOOZE buttons at the same time for four seconds.
    (2) The WiFi icon will begin flashing rapidly and the characters M-B will flash, indicating the console is broadcasting a MiFi signal.
  6. Run the Ambient Weather awnet  app , and select Add a Device:
  7. Proceed through the awnet wizard following the instructions at the bottom. On the fourth panel, select Scan enter your 2.4 GHz router’s name (SSID) and WiFi password:

    Important Note: If you own a dual band router, and the SSIDs (router name) are different for the two different bands, make sure you select the 2.4 GHz Band.
  8. If the problem persists, rerun this help guide, but this time, connect the phone to the console WiFi AMBWeather-WIFI first, before proceeding to Step 5:
  9.  If you continue to have an issue, try a different android or apple device.  The most common issue is typing it in wrong if you own and Apple, or not selecting it when you Scan Devices on and Android.
