I spent at least an hour last night trying to connect my Anova to my  
home wifi network. I was under the belief that Anova can connect to  
wireless N over 2.4 ghz however when my router is set to N only the  
Anova can’t connect. I have to set my router to N+G mode and then the  
Anova connects within a minute. Is the Anova limited to wireless G? I  
can’t seem to find the information anywhere.

Yep, it’s supporting 802.11b/g/n. &nbsp; Proof of this is that G is limited to 54mbps - I took a look at the client list in my WAP and the PC is transferring at 72.2mbps. &nbsp;(so, it’s definitely connecting using the N protocol).

  

Remember - it gets the wifi info from your phone. &nbsp;Make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz network when you do the initial setup (maybe disable your 5GHz network temporarily to make sure). &nbsp;

  

Once the PC is successfully connected, it’ll use that information to connect.

  

If you’re still having issues with N - maybe make sure that your WAP has the latest version of firmware from the manufacturer. &nbsp;Hopefully it’s not a compatibility issue.

My phone was connected at 2.4 ghz wireless N. I know this because my router was set to ONLY allow N connections and my phone was connected. At this setting, the Anova didn’t even show up in router status. Once I changed the router to wireless N + G (instead of just N) the Anova immediately showed up in router status and connected without issue. I’ll check the connection speed to see if it is connecting at N or G.
