How To Connect Teckin Smart Plug

Teckin Smart Plugs 5Ghz Router Prepare

If you are looking for a little help with connecting your Teckin Smart Plugs to the Smart Life App & Google Abode you could well be having a few issues with setting them upwardly. The most likely cause is the 2.4GHz & 5Ghz Wifi network on your Broadband Router. Whilst they do mention this in the instruction booklet it can easily be overlooked.

The Teckin Smart Plugs will merely connect to a 2.iv GHz Wifi Network , most of todays Routers will accept a 2.4 GHz & v GHz Wifi network broadcasting.

Of import – Earlier beginning the setup the commencement job will be to turn off your Routers 5 GHz Wifi network , the details below give instructions on how to do this for all the leading Broadband provider Routers. (The Teckin Smart Plugs will still connect to v GHz Wifi network if its available merely they will not piece of work !)

The Router admin instructions beneath assume your access details are the default settings shipped with the Router.

Heaven Hub Router

ii. use username "admin" and password "sky" to enter your Sky Router settings.
3. click on the "wireless" tab

v. whorl downwards to here (image below) and remove the ticks from all 4 options.

7. to turn the five GHz Wifi network back on but reverse , tick the iv options and click "apply" again.

5. you should be able to leave similar this whilst you setup your Teckin Smart Plugs.
6. toggle 5GHz back "ON" once you have finished and logout.

One time y'all have confirmed that your 5 GHz Wifi Network is disabled , keep to install the Smart Life App on your called Smart Phone.

With your 5 GHz Wifi network disabled on your Router and your Smart Phone (with the Smart Life app running) connected to the same network configuring the Teckin Smart Plugs from here is very easy indeed.

I went with the one at a fourth dimension method as it simplified the "which Smart Plug does what problem". Plug a Teckin Smart Plug into the wall socket , the Smart Life app volition most immediately run across the Plug , setup involves naming the Plug (ie Pocket-size Side Lamp) and allocating it to a room etc. The whole process (one time you've disabled the 5Ghz) is very smooth.
