Video Walkthrough

Watch this quick tutorial to see the complete Wi-Fi setup process in action.

​
What You’ll Need

  • A fully charged Lockbox
  • A smartphone or laptop
  • Access to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network (5 GHz networks are not supported)
The Lockbox only supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi networks. If your router broadcasts both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, make sure you connect to the 2.4 GHz network.

​
Setup Instructions

1

Open Wi-Fi settings on your Lockbox

Power on your Lockbox and navigate to Settings → Wi-Fi Settings.The Lockbox will create a temporary network called Lockbox Setup and display a QR code on screen.
2

Connect to the Lockbox network

On your phone or laptop, either:
  • Scan the QR code displayed on the Lockbox, or
  • Manually connect to the Lockbox Setup network in your device’s Wi-Fi settings
3

Configure your Wi-Fi credentials

A configuration portal will automatically open—similar to connecting to Wi-Fi at a coffee shop or library.
  1. Select Configure Wi-Fi
  2. Choose your 2.4 GHz home network from the list
  3. Enter your Wi-Fi password
  4. Tap Save
The Lockbox will receive your credentials and attempt to connect.
4

Verify the connection

Once connected, the Lockbox will display a Wi-Fi icon with full signal bars.
If you see full Wi-Fi bars with no line through them, your Lockbox is successfully connected to the internet.
You may notice a small dot beneath the Wi-Fi icon. This indicates sync status and will be covered in a future guide.
