Procedure to Change WiFi Network on the FEIT App
Checking Internet Connectivity
Before you go about changing your Wi-Fi network on the FEIT app, verify that the device you’re using is connected to the internet. Ensure you’re connected to the new Wi-Fi network that you want your FEIT devices to use.
Accessing the Device’s Settings
From the FEIT app dashboard, select the device you want to update the Wi-Fi for. Once that device’s screen opens, navigate to the upper right corner and tap the three-dot menu. Here, you’ll find an option labeled Device Information— tap on it.
Selecting the Appropriate Wi-Fi Network
Scroll till you find the section titled ‘Network.’ Here, you’ll see a list of all the available Wi-Fi networks your device can connect to. From the list, select the desired new network.
Confirmation of Wi-Fi Change
After selecting the new network, the app will prompt you to enter the Wi-Fi password. Enter the password then click confirm. Once the change is successful, your FEIT device will automatically connect to the new Wi-Fi network.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
When the Desired Network is not Visible
If the network you wish to connect to isn’t showing up, try troubleshooting by moving closer to the router, refreshing the network list, or restarting the router.
If the Wi-Fi Change is not Successful
If the switch doesn’t happen as expected, check for possible mistakes in password entry or whether your device is compatible with the new Wi-Fi network. You might also want to check if the router security settings are preventing the connection.
Conclusion
Recap of the Process
In summary, changing your Wi-Fi network on the FEIT app involves accessing the ‘Device Information’ under the device settings, selecting the new network from the list of available networks, and confirming the change by entering the correct password.

FAQs
Can I connect my FEIT device to multiple Wi-Fi networks?
No, a FEIT device can only connect to one Wi-Fi network at a time. If you want to change the network it’s connected to, follow the procedure outlined above.
Why can’t I see my Wi-Fi network on the list of available networks?
If your Wi-Fi network isn’t showing up, ensure your router is functioning properly and the network signal is strong enough. If that’s in order, try refreshing the network list or restarting the router.
What should I do if my device doesn’t connect to the new Wi-Fi network after following these steps?
First, check for possible errors in the Wi-Fi password entry. If that’s not the problem, ensure that your device is compatible with the network you’re trying to connect to. If all that checks out, check whether your router’s security settings could be hindering the connection.
