Router Configuration

Router configuration settings can affect reachability. There are some settings you can check on but, heads up! You may need a techny friends to help if you do not know how to access your settings, or you can contact your Internet Service Provider directly.

Verify the following:

• UPnP = enabled

• Multicast = enabled

• IGMP Snooping = enabled

• Client/AP Isolation = disabled

Wifi Channels

Most routers will default to auto-select the optimal channel, which usually works well. Some models can cause issues on how the router communicates with your Nanoleaf  devices.

Selecting a fixed Wifi channel can help to mitigate this unreachability. The recommended channels are 1, 6 or 11.
