4. Connecting your wireless devices to the router
To allow newer devices (iPhones
®
, iPads
®
and newer Android
®
devices)
to wake up the router from Full Eco stand-by, connect them to hidden
Other network ‘jrs’ with security WPA2 and the same wifi password you
set in step 2. You need to set this up only once in your device, then it will
remember the credentials. From now on, always connect to this hidden
network and 'Forget' the visible networks on your devices, in case you
already entered the wifi password for those.
Connecting to the hidden network is needed on devices that do so-called MAC
address randomization. It is usually not needed on devices that are older than
5 years. Connecting to the hidden 'jrs' network assures that the Eco router can
recognize the connection request signal from your wireless device and come
out of Full Eco standby mode.
If the wifi network doesn't appear in the list of available wifi networks on
your wireless device when the Eco 100 router is in Full Eco standby, you
need to connect your device to the hidden network as explained above.
