STEP 3:
Test your connection.
iOS or Android:
- Switch off the WiFi on your device.
- Verify you are connected to a data plan (LTE, 4G) and not your home WiFi and open the app.
- Success! You are now connected and can securely access your WiFi Baby anywhere.
Troubleshooting:
- Is your username and password is entered correctly in your apps or browser?
- Is your URL is entered correctly?
- Did you enter 8150 as the port in the apps?
- Did you cut & paste the URL vs. typing it in? You may have grabbed a space in the beginning or end of the URL.
- Are you sure you are connecting externally when testing, not on your home WiFi network?
- Is your URL active under the SYSTEM page?
- Click SYSTEM to verify your URL is active. Scroll down to the REMOTE VIEWING section and you will see this screen. If it’s active it will say SUCCESS. If not, click HERE.
- Does the message No UPnP gateway appear under the REMOTE VIEWING section as shown below?
