WI-FI SETUP

STEP 1

STEP 2

Verify the thermostat is in  

Wi-Fi Connection Mode.

The thermostat by default will be in Wi-Fi Connection 
Mode . To confirm that the thermostat is in Wi-Fi 
Connection Mode, verify that the radio bars on the 
thermostat are strobing as shown below .

Note:

 If the thermostat is not in Wi-Fi Connection 

Mode, refer to Clearing Router Settings on page 32 . 

To connect the 8820 thermostat to a Wi-Fi network follow the steps below .  

Note:

 You will need a computer or mobile device with Wi-Fi and a web browser .  

Connect to the thermostat using a  

computer or mobile device.

On your computer or mobile device, scan for 
available networks . The thermostat should appear 
as APRILAIRE8820 followed by a unique identifier, 
corresponding to the last 6 digits of the MAC address . 
Connect to the thermostat you want to configure .
If you are installing multiple thermostats, the MAC 
address of each thermostat will be displayed in the 
message center on the display of the thermostat . The 
MAC address can also be found by removing the cover 
on the front of the thermostat . 

(Continued on the following page.)

WI-FI SETUP

Configure the thermostat to connect  

to the Wi-Fi network.

Open a web browser on your computer or mobile 
device . In the browser enter:

http://192 .168 .1 .99/index .html

In the web browser interface select the network you 
want to connect the thermostat to, and enter the 
network’s security credentials . 

STEP 3

STEP 4

Verify the thermostat is connected  

to the Wi-Fi network.

Once all the required information is entered in the 
web browser interface, the thermostat will connect to 
the Wi-Fi network you selected . After the thermostat 
is connected to the Wi-Fi network, the thermostat 
will display the radio bars based on the Wi-Fi signal 
strength . If the radio bars are not displaying the signal 
strength, refer to Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection on 
pages 32-33 .

Note:

 If you are not using the thermostat with a home 

automation system, but are instead using an Aprilaire 
account to communicate with the thermostat, refer 
to 

Wi-Fi Thermostat App User Guide

 and then 

Start Up
