Use a stable WPA2 Wi-Fi network. Wi-Fi 5 or Wi-Fi 6 (AC/AX) is recommended, with the 5 GHz band preferred for better performance and less interference. In locations with structural barriers, such as thick metal walls, a 2.4 GHz connection may provide better range.
Enter the network name (SSID) exactly as it appears. The Wi-Fi password should contain letters and numbers only, and the network must not require a browser-based login screen. Public, open, and captive-portal networks are not supported.
For reliable verification, the network should provide:
- At least 25 Mbps download speed
- At least 10 Mbps upload speed
- No more than 400 ms latency
- One Orb per mobile hotspot
In high-traffic environments, consider using wired Ethernet for a more reliable connection.
