Why won’t my Schlage Encode connect to Wi-Fi?
The Schlage Encode is not connecting to Wi-Fi because the home app only lists password-protected and 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks as options, so it’s unable to connect automatically. This means that you’ll have to manually set up your WiFi connection in order for your lockbox door opener system to work with other devices on your network or around the area where you are installing them.
The Schlage Encode does not connect to a 4GHz Wi-Fi network. It only connects successfully on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks, but it is unable to connect on the 4GHz network. There are a number of reasons why this might happen:
- The WiFi connection has already been secured by your router and you need to enter its password
- Your wireless security settings require authentication before connecting
- You may be attempting to use an incompatible access point or network
- The Encode may be out of range of the network
Because Schlage Encode includes built-in Wi-Fi, it is always linked to your network. As a result, a poor or blocked Wi-Fi signal may cause your lock to seek and reconnect to your network on a frequent basis, putting strain on the battery and decreasing its performance.
