How To Connect Roomba To Your Wifi Network
Review The Manual
Before you dive into connecting your Roomba to your Wi-Fi network, you’ll want to make sure you have the user manual handy. The manual will detail the exact steps you’ll need to take to connect your Roomba to your wireless network. It is important to follow the steps outlined in the manual to prevent any potential issues from occurring. The information in the manual will vary from model to model. So make sure you have the specific model of your device in mind before searching for the manual online. If you don’t have the user manual for your specific model of Roomba, you can find it on the manufacturer’s website.
Make Sure Your Roomba Supports Wi-Fi
As we mentioned earlier, all new models of Roomba support Wi-Fi. However, if you’re buying a used model, it’s important to make sure it is compatible with your wireless network. You can do this by checking the robot’s product page. There, you’ll find a list of all compatible devices. If the product page doesn’t list your device, you’ll need to manually check the device’s compatibility. The easiest way to do this is by opening the “settings” app on your Roomba. Once there, look for a section that says “Wi-Fi” or “network.” If you can’t find any such section, your model doesn’t support Wi-Fi and you’ll need to buy a new one.
Pair Your Roomba With Your Phone
Once you have verified that your device is compatible with Wi-Fi and have opened the device’s “settings” app, you can pair your device with your phone. Once you have opened the “settings” app, you should see a section that says “Wi-Fi.” Select “Wi-Fi” and then look for a “Wi-Fi SSID” or “network name” section. Once you have found the network name, select it, and then type in the password found on your device’s Wi-Fi settings page.
Login to The iRoomba App
Now that you have paired your device with your phone, it’s time to log into the app. To log into the app, select “iRobot HOME,” and then “Connect.” You will need to enter the same email and password combination that you use on the app. Once you have done so, you should see your connected Roomba listed on the app’s main screen. If you don’t see your connected Roomba, be sure that you have selected the app’s home screen before trying again.
Connect your Roomba to your home Wi-Fi network
Now that you have verified that your device is compatible with Wi-Fi and have paired your device with your phone, it’s time to connect your Roomba to your wireless network. Once you have logged into the app, select “iRobot HOME,” then “Settings,” and then “Connect.” Once you have selected “Connect,” you will need to select the name of the Wi-Fi network you want to connect your Roomba to. Once you have selected the network, enter your network’s password and click “Connect.”
