## Getting your trainer online

Your Deepthroat Trainer needs a Wi-Fi connection to upload your training results and download new settings. This guide walks you through the setup process.

<Warning>
  Your trainer only supports **2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks**. Make sure you connect to a 2.4 GHz network, not a 5 GHz network. Many routers broadcast both—look for networks without "5G" in the name.
</Warning>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Power on and enter Wi-Fi setup">
    Turn on your Deepthroat Trainer. When you see the screen displaying "press button to start or hold to launch settings page," **hold the button** to enter Wi-Fi setup mode.

    <Note>
      The "settings page" on the device refers specifically to Wi-Fi configuration. Training settings (templates, modes, etc.) are managed through your dashboard, not on the device.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Connect to the trainer's setup network">
    Your trainer creates a temporary Wi-Fi hotspot called **Trainer Setup**. On your phone or computer, open Wi-Fi settings and connect to this network.

    <Warning>
      Your phone will warn you there's "no internet" on this network—this is expected. When prompted, tap **Stay connected** or **Connect anyway**. Do not disconnect when you see this warning.
    </Warning>

    <Note>
      This is a local network created by your trainer—it won't provide internet access. You're connecting directly to the trainer to configure it.
    </Note>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the setup portal">
    After connecting, a captive portal page should open automatically. If it doesn't appear within a few seconds, open any web browser and go to:

    ```
    http://192.168.4.1
    ```

    <Tip>
      This works similarly to Wi-Fi login pages at coffee shops or hotels. If you have mobile data enabled, try disabling it temporarily—some phones prioritize mobile data and won't load the portal.
    </Tip>
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure your Wi-Fi network">
    Tap **Configure Wi-Fi** to see a list of available networks. Select your home Wi-Fi network from the list.

    Remember to choose a **2.4 GHz network** if your router broadcasts multiple frequencies.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your Wi-Fi password">
    Enter your network password when prompted. Double-check for typos—incorrect passwords are the most common cause of connection issues.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Save and connect">
    Tap **Save** to store your credentials. Your trainer will attempt to connect to your network. If successful, it will automatically restart.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Once your trainer restarts, it will connect to the internet and download any available settings or updates.

    <Check>
      Your Deepthroat Trainer is now online and ready to sync your training data.
    </Check>
  </Step>
</Steps>

  <Accordion title="Troubleshooting: Can't see the setup portal">
    If the captive portal doesn't appear automatically after connecting to the Trainer Setup network:

    1. **Ignore the "no internet" warning** — Your phone may show warnings like "Connected without internet" or "This network has no internet access." This is expected. Tap **Stay connected** or **Connect anyway**.

    2. **Open the portal manually** — Open any web browser and go to `http://192.168.4.1`

    3. **Disable mobile data** — If the portal still won't load, turn off mobile data (cellular) on your phone. Some phones prioritize mobile data and won't route traffic through the Trainer Setup network.

    4. **Try a different device** — If your phone still won't show the portal, try using a laptop or tablet instead.

    <Warning>
      Do not disconnect from the Trainer Setup network when your phone warns about no internet. This warning is normal—the trainer's network is only for configuration, not internet access.
    </Warning>
