What is the expected WIFI configuration required by your IONNYK frame
IONNYK frames are connected via the Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g/n standard, with some additionnal requirements:
- 1. Frequency : only wifi emitted on the 2.4 Ghz (and not using the same WIFI name for both 2.4 and 5.0 Ghz)
- 2. Security :
- Only wpa2 is supported. It means those ones are not : wep, wpa, wpae (entreprise), open (password free).
- The password must not be longer than 31 characters !
- Your wifi network should not open a page when you try to connect (= capture portal)
- 3. SSID = Wifi’s name : It must not be longer than 31 characters, and cannot be the same name as a Wifi 5.0 Ghz (cf. (1))
- 4. Quality : a sufficient signal strength/quality to ensure reliable data exchange and no excessive disconnections
- 5. Firewall : the port 11113 should be left open by your network, and shouldn’t block the IONNYK frame in any way
- 6. [Channels] : the frame is able to connect to Wi-Fi channels spanning from 1 up to 11. We highly advise setting your network to channels 1, 6, or 11 to ensure the highest performance and connectivity
How can I quickly check some of my config ?
Test the connection on your smartphone before
- Get very close to the frame
- Connect your smartphone to the same WIFI
- Be sure the signal quality is good by reading the number of bars/level/strength of WIFI shown on your smartphone (checking 4.)
- You can also check your WIFI connection speed using speed tests: test1 or test2
- Download should be at least 8 Mbps
- Ping/latency should be less than 100ms
- Open successfully a known website to ensure the internet access is provided, ex. www.google.com
- Then open the following URL (checking 5.) : https://connection-test.inkcoming.eu:11113/1
- If success, you shoud see the following
How to check if the issue comes from my own WIFI network ?
If you frame is still unable to connect, the idea is to connect your frame to a more simple network. Please configure a mobile hotspot from your smartphone, and prodide a simple name and a simple wpa2 password.
