To connect a WOpet feeder to Wi-Fi, download the correct app, put the feeder in pairing mode by holding the Wi-Fi button until the indicator light flashes rapidly (usually red or green), and then follow the in-app instructions to select your 2.4 GHz network and enter the password.
Before you begin
Download the app: Find the correct app for your model by checking the user manual, which can be downloaded from the WOpet website.
Find your network information: Make sure you have the password for your Wi-Fi network.
Check your Wi-Fi band: WOpet feeders only support 2.4 GHz networks. If your phone is connected to a 5 GHz network, switch to a 2.4 GHz network before starting.
Step-by-step connection
Put the feeder in pairing mode:
Press and hold the Wi-Fi or SET button on the feeder for about 3-5 seconds until you hear a beep and the indicator light starts flashing rapidly (this may be red or green depending on the model).
If you see a pop-up in the app, confirm that the indicator light is flashing rapidly and tap "Next" or "Indicator is flashing rapidly".
Select your network and enter the password:
Allow the app to access your location if prompted, which should automatically display your Wi-Fi network name.
Ensure the correct 2.4 GHz network is selected.
Enter your Wi-Fi password and tap "Confirm" or "Next".
Complete the connection:
The feeder will now attempt to connect. This may take a few moments.
Some models may use a QR code that you need to show to the feeder's camera until you hear a beep.
Once connected, the indicator light will change, and you may be prompted to give your feeder a name in the app.
Troubleshooting
If the connection fails: Ensure you are on a 2.4 GHz network and have entered the correct password. You may need to use a different connection method, like AP mode, which is sometimes called "hotspot connection" in the app.
If the light isn't flashing correctly: Long-press the Wi-Fi button again to reset the pairing mode until the light flashes rapidly.
If you're trying to figure out how to connect your Wopet device to WiFi, the key is to follow each step carefully and make sure your network settings match the device requirements. Sometimes small things like signal strength or router settings can cause issues. If you still can’t get it connected, you might need a bit of wifi help to troubleshoot your network and ensure everything is set up correctly.
