If you have, does that WiFi have an internet connection?

The network you’re using must have an internet connection for this device to work properly.

If there is an internet connection, why is it still not connecting?

If your WiFi has a first connect agreement, ie. it is a public access WiFi, our device will not be able to use the internet connection on your WiFi. You must allow the device on that network through the router or use a different internet connection. Another reason would be due to the router blocking any new device connections. Just refer to your router manual for details on how to allow a new device. If that still isn’t the case, contact us to troubleshoot further.
