The PhotoSpring frame needs a wifi connection in order to
- Receive photos and videos
- Update to the latest software when available
To connect to Wifi you first need to have your Wifi router name and password.
Step 1: Open the Wifi Settings Screen
There are two ways to access the Wifi Settings Screen
Access through the Menu Button
The menu button is in the upper right corner of the Playlist Screen or the Photo Info Screen.
Access through the Wifi signal strength indicator
The Wifi signal strength indicator is in the lower right corner of the Playlist Screen or the Photo Info Screen.
Step 2: Connect to WiFi
Tap your wifi network from the list that appears. Enter your password if necessary. If successful you will see "Connected" just under the name of the wifi network you are connected to.
If you see "Authentication Error" then most likely this is a password related issue. Please check your wifi password and try again. If it continues to be a problem then follow these steps:
- Determine if you have a WPS button on your wifi router
- The wifi router will have a button:
- labeled with "WPS" or
- an icon that looks like this:
- If you have a WPS button then go to the wifi settings screen on your frame. In the upper right corner tap the three dots icon and in the menu that appears select Advanced
- From the advanced screen tap the WPS Push button and follow the instructions that appear.
- The wifi router will have a button:
- If you you don't have a WPS button then we need to verify your Wifi password using another device. For example, use your phone's wifi and "Forget" the Wifi network. Then re-connect. Enter the password you think it is. If it connects using that password then go to the frame and retry the connection using the same password.
For hidden SSIDs
You can manually type in an SSID by tapping on the three dots in the upper right corner of the wifi screen. This will pull up a menu. Hit Add Network to enter your SSID manually. Save it and then tap the SSID to enter your password and connect.
