FAQ

The problem is related to poor wifi signal. When the smart product cannot detect its wifi network, it goes offline. It should come back online on its own. Normally, you should not reset them. You may need to consider extenders and boosters.

Note: Having multiple hotspots does not make for a stronger signal. Smart products may be too far away from the original router. Either it is too far away or there are too many obstacles blocking the signal, such as walls and floors. For example, put the router in the garage or basement and the device installation on the 2nd or 3rd floor.

It doesn’t make the product faulty. You can still use it through TUYA or Smart life  app, and it works perfectly.

 

 

No, no hub or gateway is required because all Smart Home products support a WiFi communication protocol. All Smart Home product are controlled with TUYA Smart Home Application through a WiFi network. No need for a Hub or gateway.

 

 Zigbee devices must have a gateway to control. The Zigbee protocol and Wi-Fi protocol are different. Just like you need a wireless router to create a Wi-Fi network, you also need a hub to set up and control a Zigbee network. The hub coordinates the system, and each device also acts as a node to create a mesh network of devices.

Most routers now have “dual-band” WiFi. this means they have both 2.4G and 5G WiFi bands. Sometimes they are in the same SSID (SSID = network name), sometimes they are your WIFI router device name or router device name_5G. We will briefly inform you how to identify.

How to check if you are using an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad:

  1. Open your WiFi in your phone’s settings , and see if there are multiple options for the name of your WiFi.
  2. See if there are multiple similar network names, such as “YourWifi” and “YourWifi_5G”.

 

How to check if you are using an Android phone or a tablet:

If you have an Android phone, you can clearly confirm whether the network is 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

  1. Connect to that network
  2. Go to Settings > Network and Internet > WiFi > select Network Properties (click the gear icon or menu icon). Note: Depending on your Android version, these steps may vary.
  3. Read the frequency settings.

 

How to check using Windows 10 PC:

  1. Connect to a WiFi network.
  2. Open the Network panel from the taskbar and click on the WiFi icon at the bottom right.
  3. Click on the properties of the network you are connected to (see example below).
  4. In the new window that opens, scroll all the way down to the Properties section.
  5. The network band will be displayed as 2.4GHz or 5GHz.

 

How to check with your Apple computer:

 

  1. Connect to a WiFi network.
  2. Click the WiFi icon in the top navigation bar and hold down the Option/Alt key at the same time.
  3. Look at the channel information written in gray text. It will show 5GHz or 2.4GHz.

 

Noted: If you have issues with any of these methods, you can always call your WiFi provider and ask them if your router has a 2.4GHz network.  Sometimes on modern routers there is just 1 network that is a combined 2.4GHz and 5GHz network, but this can be a problem for device that only work on a 2.4GHz network.  Your WiFi provider will be able to tell you this and they should be able separate your router into both a 2.4GHz and 5GHz network.  This way you can pick which network any of your devices connect to.  5GHz is much faster, so your TV, Computer, Tablets and Phones would probably work best on that, but that kind of network does not spread over a wide area.  The 2.4GHz network is a little bit slower, but it penetrates walls and floors better and spreads farther than a 5GHz network so it works well for devices anywhere in your entire house and is great for smart devices,
