If you face any problems while changing wi-fi on the Geeni app, here are some troubleshooting tips you can implement. 

• Check your wi-fi password to see if there are any typos. Usually, we have connection problems due to the wrong passwords.

• Usually, the problem gets solved by simply restarting the router or devices. The best practice is to turn off your Geeni devices and router for a minute and then restart them.  
• Check the user manual to know which device needs to be in pairing mode before connecting. Now, check if the device is in pairing mode or not.  
• Some Geeni devices don’t support networks other than 2.4 GHz bandwidth. Go to the Wi-Fi router settings and check if the network’s bandwidth is 2.4 GHz.  
• If the issue persists, contact customer support or the help center, if possible. The team will reach out to you and help you with your specific issue. You can ask for help on their official website, and the help icon in the Geeni Mobile Application is also there.

• If your devices have a default password, replace it with a unique and strong password.  
• Keep your Geeni app and firmware updated with the latest version.  
• Your wi-fi network must use strong encryption protocols, i.e., WPA3 or WPA2.  
• Create a guest network for the devices that don’t necessarily need full access to the main network.  
• To add an extra layer of security, enable two-factor authentication for your Geeni account.  
• Keep a strict eye on the activity logs of your Geeni devices.  
• It’s not safe to enable device sharing; share the access with the people you trust blindly.  
• To reduce security breaches, don’t keep features like location or remote access when not in use.
