BPM Core can't connect to Wi-Fi
If BPM Core can't connect to Wi-Fi, perform the following steps:
- If you get a DNS Error or DCHP Error during the installation process, click here.
- If you get an HTTP error, make sure your Wi-Fi network doesn't require to enter a password on a webpage (for free or shared Wi-Fi networks) or that it's not behind a proxy.
- If you get a Wi-Fi error 2, make sure you entered the right password.
- If you get a Wi-Fi error 3, 4 or 5 message during the installation process, it's most likely because you're trying to use a 5 GHz network, which is not supported. Try using another network instead. If your network is compatible, get closer to your router and reinstall your BPM Core.
- If you get a Wi-Fi error 6, reboot your router, make sure it authorizes new products to connect and start installing BPM Core again.
- If a MAC filter is set on your router, make sure you add the MAC address of your scale in your router's green list.
Please note that we don't support the mDNS protocol on wireless devices. This protocol is only available to products that are plugged into power sockets.
