<Info>
  **Using automatic Bluetooth pairing?** You can skip this guide entirely — WiFi setup is handled for you during the pairing process. See [Pairing Your Lockbox](/lkbx/quick-start/pairing) to get started.

## 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)

<Warning>
  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.
</Warning>

## Setup Instructions

<Steps>
  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="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
  </Step>

  <Step title="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.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify the connection">
    Once connected, the Lockbox will display a Wi-Fi icon with full signal bars.

    <Check>
      If you see full Wi-Fi bars with no line through them, your Lockbox is successfully connected to the internet.
    </Check>

    <Note>
      You may notice a small dot beneath the Wi-Fi icon. This indicates sync status and will be covered in a future guide.
    </Note>
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Next Steps

Now that your Lockbox is connected to Wi-Fi, you're ready to pair it with your dashboard for remote control. Continue to the next step in the quick start guide.

  <Accordion title="Video transcript">
    **0:00** Today I'm going to show you in a step-by-step guide how to connect your lockbox to the internet so you can receive settings from the dashboard.

    **0:08** What you're going to need is a charged lockbox and either a cell phone or a laptop. I'm going to use my cell phone today.

    **0:16** So on my lockbox, I'm going to go down into settings, once it's powered on, and I'm going to find the Wi-Fi settings option.

    **0:24** Clicking that—this is going to create a network called Lockbox Setup, which I can join by either scanning this QR code or just looking for the network on my device.

    **0:37** I'm going to do that option. Perfect.

    **0:57** I'll join that network. And just like joining a Wi-Fi network at a library or coffee shop, it'll launch a configuration portal where I can click Configure Wi-Fi.

    **1:10** And I can choose a 2.4 gigahertz network.

    **1:21** In this case, it is my personal network, Treehouse 2.4G. Right, I've entered my password, and now I'm going to hit Save.

    **1:34** This will send these credentials to the device, and as long as it can connect to the internet, we'll see a restart over here on the lockbox.

    **1:42** Perfect. And in fact, it did connect with no restart, so that is awesome to see things worked as expected. Now, you'll also notice, underneath this Wi-Fi icon, there is a small dot.

    **1:55** In the future, we'll talk about what that dot means. For now, all you care about is seeing that there are full Wi-Fi bars.

    **2:02** There's no line through it. If this is the case, then you've successfully connected to Wi-Fi. In future videos, I'll show you how to pair this to the dashboard.

    **2:10** But that's it for now. Thank you.
