My Grill Can't Find My WiFi Network

The most common cause of being unable to find your network is not being connected to a 2.4 GHz network. Many ISPs combine both 2.4 and 5 GHz networks. Check your available networks on your phone to check if you're given the choice.

We suggest placing your grill within 30 feet of your router. There are many other factors that can come into play that can weaken your network strength.

Can I Use My Grill without Connecting to WiFi?
