Hi all! I have been trying to connect my Anova Precision Oven and it always stop at the last step, can’t seem possibile to find a solution and it is frustrating. I press the Wi-Fi button, the phone with the APP connects to it (through the 4 digits code) and everything seems to go fine until it asks to choose the network and then “Connecting” seems to take too long before resulting into a message of error. I have tried with different networks and nothing changes. I have also tried all the procedures suggested (unplug the oven, uninstall the app, etc…) but - again! - no success. The support suggested to reset the oven by bypressing and holding the Start and WiFi buttons until the entire display lights up but the only result was that I have probably downgraded the firmware and now the first connection (with the 4 digits) works maybe once every three times, so even more frustrating. The APP is installed on an iPhone 11 Pro. Anyone experienced anything similar? Any suggestion? Have a nice Sunday! ---

Hi ya @eb1981mi Emanuele Based ONLY on my experience, not logic; make the initial connection with the APO and iPhone as physically close as practicable to the modem router. Once I did that the connection has been reliable. iPhone 11 is a bit long in the tooth. Have you updated the software regularly, is it even still supported? Make sure that your Bluetooth is upto date. Best wishes. ---

Hey Douglas! Thank you very much for your help and the suggestion… I will give it a try and see if it works then. ---

Temporarily turn off 5GHz on your WiFi and then try to connect it for the first time. Sometimes these smart appliances have trouble if there’s a 2.4 and 5Ghz WiFi signal on the same SSID, as the router will try to force it to the 5G side. Timothy ---

How about your encryption selection? Are you currently deploying WPA2/3? Try with just WPA2.
