- Fri Oct 02, 2020 9:49 am #88997 I have a couple new DW2 units I'm testing but they will not Pair. I have tested with different 2.4ghz access point brands (Unifi & Netgear), different networks, IOS eWelink and Android eWelink.

The Bluetooth device ID appears, but fails to pair after wifi SSID and password are entered. Pairing fail.

Additionally, this bugs me, my primary WLAN SSID, having all of my other Sonoff devices is not shown in the pairing screen as an available network. I have tried entering it manually with same results.

Has anyone else experienced this? Has anyone else been able to successfully pair DW2 units?

You have a good point, except for the "you" part.

iTead/Sonoff is "mixing things, Bluetooth vs WiFi".

I didn't design it, just trying to use it...

We are talking about a visible AP? Or is the SSID hidden?
