What worked for connecting Anova Precision Oven 2.0 to wifi/App

Anova Precision® Oven

It took me many tries to get my 2.0 oven connected to wifi/App even though my old 1.0 had been connected to the App/wifi before so I thought it would be useful to create a new topic for people to share what worked for their setup.

My Setup
Router: Eero Max 7 (wifi 7)
iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 18.5 using Oven App version 1.2.4 16232)
APO 2.0

  1. Turned off 5gHz on my router temporarily so only 2.4gHz on (Eero App: settings/troubleshooting/my device is not connecting/my device is 2.4ghz only /temporarily disconnect 5gHz)

  2. Unplugged oven for 5 mins, plugged it back in

  3. Forced quit App on my iPhone, restarted my iPhone. Turned off Mobile data on my phone.

  4. Went to settings on the oven & clicked ‘connect’ WiFi icon

  5. Opened the App on my phone

  6. Selected ‘Connect’ when prompt appeared

  7. It found my network and I entered the wifi password

  8. It connected! Turned mobile data back on iPhone.

I’ve noticed that I have had to do the same (turn off 5 GHz & mobile data) when adding other 2.4gHz devices to my network. It is potentially a wifi 7 router issue in general or possibly an Eero Max 7 specific one.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing. When you say “Turned off Mobile data”, on my iPhone the option is to turn off Cellular Data. I can do this either on settings for the entire phone or on an app by app basis in app settings. Is this the same what you are referencing as “Turn off Mobile data”? Just want to be sure I’m not missing a key setting. Thanks.
