Connecting to a Wi-Fi network
The Watch offers a feature allowing you to connect your device to Wi-Fi networks!
**WiFi is useful to track indoors when there is no GPS but it is not useful (in its current implementation) to communicate with the device when there is no cellular coverage.
Connecting to your home network is essential to enable upgrades with new features and bug fixes for your device software. If your device is at home and connected to the charger, but not connected to Wi-Fi, there will be a pop-up reminder in the app to connect to your Home Wi-Fi, so that you can receive these updates for your device.
You could also connect to networks in places where there is poor cellular reception to assure continuity of monitoring.
To connect to Wi-Fi networks:
- Go to your Menu on the left hand side and click “Settings” and “Wi-Fi”
- A list of nearby Wi-Fi networks will come up
- Click on the network you want to connect to.
- Put the password into the box that pops up
- Press “Connect”
- It will then connect and show a checkmark next to the WiFi.
*Note that you must have our Watch. If you do not, please go to our AngelSense Store from the app to purchase it. The GPS 4 device is not Wi-Fi compatible. See: Device Comparison
NOTE: The device may not automatically connect to WiFi networks with the same name (SSID) and password at a location. We suggest that you connect to each instance of the location’s WiFi showing in your app. (Example, at a school where all WiFi networks are named the same, such as ‘SchoolISD’)
