As you start using your Shark robot vacuum, you may have noticed that it is connected to your Wi-Fi network. This connection helps control the device remotely and integrates with smart assistants like Alexa or Google Assistant—all from the convenience of our smartphone. But what do we do when we change our Wi-Fi password? What if we move out of an old house into a new one with different wireless networks, how can we switch between them? Fortunately, changing the Wi-Fi on a Shark Robot is simple and quick.
Before delving into how to change the wi-fi setting of the Shark Robot vacuum cleaner itself, let’s get some basic knowledge about Wi-Fi frequencies (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) as they are essential when connecting the robot to your wireless network.
2.4 GHz vs 5GHz
Unless specifically configured otherwise, all routers broadcast two types of frequencies: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. Both offer different benefits when it comes to speed or compatibility with devices like Smartphones, game consoles or IoTs.
The 2.4Ghz frequency offers extended range but slower speeds while offering better wall penetration capabilities than its counterpart—the 5Ghz frequency which provides faster and more reliable speeds but has shorter-range capabilities.
It’s vital to note that some older devices might not be compatible with newer networking protocols- for example; most older IoT devices only work over the slower speed (but longer range) band -the good news is that both frequencies won’t interfere with each other since they utilize separate bands for their signals.
With this in mind here’s how to re-establish connectivity between your shark robot cleaner and a new wireless network:
Step by Step Guide on How To Change The Wi-fi on Your Shark Robot Vacuum:
1.Check Your Connection
Start by ensuring that your phone/computer/tablet is connected to the same wi-fi network used before for pairing between shark-cleaner-app/voice assistant and the robot. You wouldn’t want to miss any steps during this process, leading to a break or loss of connection.
2. Reset Wi-Fi Settings
To proceed with changing your Shark Robot’s Wi-fi settings, you must reset all existing network configurations concerning the device. This reset makes it forget the previous wireless details like username and password or IP setting used in connecting to an old router.
Here’s how you’re going to do it:
a) Make sure that your Vacuum is powered OFF.
b) Turn over the device and search for a small ‘Reset’ button usually located at the bottom side of its body.
c) With something thin like a paper clip (or toothpick), press and hold down this reset button for about 15 seconds – A flashing light will appear on top of
your machine confirming that resetting operation has commenced.
d) Once completed, wait for another few seconds where lights will flash multiple times indicating that data gets erased.
It’s important not to confuse factory resetting (a full system restore mode) with just clearing up wifi settings in case you’re having issues accessing your home wireless network.
3. Connect To New Wi-Fi Network:
After wiping all prior information from shark vacuum’s memory start by opening The Shark Clean App on Your Smartphone via ‘ANDROID’ & ‘iOS,’ then follow these simple steps:
– Select “Settings” within your app,
– Tap on “Wi-Fi Service”,
– Then tap “ Add new Customer” found beneath list of Saved Networks,
– Enter new credentials [SSID + Security Password info] corresponding,
– Allow some time (usually one minute or less chance per phone model used )for verification: You’ll notice solid blue light glowing – now, take note if within this window-period there are no additional prompts illustrating successful pairing activation as results vary depending upon different models!
Similarly, using Alexa voice commands once appropriate permissions are granted in the app, there’s a “Change your Shark robot network” prompt. Then it will ask for setting up new wi-fi credentials from zero.
In summary, accessing and changing connectivity settings of shark robots is super simple and quick regardless of which platform used during pairing. It all starts with resetting your existing wifi connections to create space for new ones and then forward to adding new wireless credentials that ensure seamless control of this marvelous device from anywhere at any time.
As technology continues to advance, so do our home appliances. The Shark robot vacuum cleaner is one such appliance that has revolutionized the cleaning industry. With its Wi-Fi connectivity features, it has become easy to control remotely and integrate with other smart devices like Alexa or Google Assistant.
However, as we change our Wi-Fi passwords or move houses, we may need to switch between different wireless networks. Luckily, changing the Wi-Fi settings of a Shark Robot vacuum cleaner is simple and quick.
