Further requirements for Wi-Fi connection

For the m.e Power Sockets to connect to your Wi-Fi details, we must obtain your SSID and password.

We provision your Wi-Fi details in our secure provisioning environment and use 1Pasword vaults to share Wi-Fi details securely. 

1Password is a secure vault that only you, or a person you nominate, and measurable energy will have access to. Details about their security can be found here: 1password security.

 

Common reasons why Wi-Fi connection fails: 

  • Incorrect SSID and password shared with the m.e team.

  • Frequency on 5 GHz instead of 2.4 GHz.

  • A firewall blocking m.e access.

  •  Poor network coverage with not enough routers for the space
