Set up wifi Max without internet connected?

IGGt — Tue, 12 Nov 2024 11:56:56 GMT

I've just recevied my new wifi max router. It is sat on the desk with my phone and test laptop connected to the wifi, and I am on the mySky App running the setup program. However, it has just failed.

Is there a way to set up the Hub withouth connecting it to the internet? Ideally I want to get it all set up with a new SSID etc before I disconnect the old router so as to minimise any disruption.

I tried to access the admin console on 192.168.0.1 from a laptop, and then realised Sky havent provided an admin password.

Eventually found that I had to run the setup program in mySky, but that doesn't appear to be working.

Apparently not. I guess you could try connecting it over ethernet behind the current router.

I tried connecting it to the current router. The light flashes green, but then turns red.

To confirm, it DOES need to be connected to the internet directly. Once I did that I was able to set it up via the app pretty quickly.

@Henry2017 if fully closiing the app then reloading and signing in from scratch doesnt sort the issue call Sky.

@RAJ1998 With the other devices connected fine, then your issue is with the android phone, you do not say what sky hub you have, what the android phone is, so not even possible to guess what your problem is, just be carefull when you input the wireless wi-fi password and be sure you are on the correct SSID for the w-fi.
