it turns solid RED, then repeat networking steps. Network connection status
is also displayed on the app main Zone screen. If a red cloud with diagonal

to WiFi (disable cellular network), then successfully loading any web page
while standing near the antenna of your LCS. Install WiFi booster/extender
if required.

are having issues with Android, try an iOS device, and visa-versa. Isolate
issues by changing the connecting device.
