# Connect Ox Dot to Wi-Fi

Ox Dot connects to **2.4 GHz Wi-Fi**. A network that is available only on **5 GHz** will not appear in its network picker.

## Connect

1. On Ox Dot, open **Settings → Wi-Fi → Change**.
2. Choose your network from the list and enter its password.
3. Wait for the screen to show **Connected**. Ox Dot remembers saved networks and reconnects to them when they are available.

<Callout type="info">
If your router uses one Wi-Fi name for both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz, choose that name. Ox Dot joins its 2.4 GHz band automatically when the router offers one.
</Callout>

## Your network is not listed

The picker keeps scanning while it is open, so leave it open for a moment and look again. If the network still does not appear:

- Check that the router's **2.4 GHz** band is enabled and broadcasting its network name.
- If your router gives the bands different names, choose the 2.4 GHz name (often ending in `-2G`, `-2.4`, or similar), not the 5 GHz name.
- Move Ox Dot closer to the router, then reopen **Settings → Wi-Fi → Change**.
- Confirm the network is not hidden. Hidden networks cannot be selected from the picker because Ox Dot needs to see the network name first.

## It will not connect

Double-check the password, including capitalization. If you recently changed the router password, open the saved network's options on Ox Dot, choose **Forget**, then select it again and enter the new password.

If the screen says it is saving a recording locally, the recording is safe on the device. Ox Dot uploads it automatically after Wi-Fi returns.

Open [Device Support](/device/support) and include the device name shown in its Wi-Fi settings screen, along with the network name you are trying to join.
