AquaWiz KH Controller Gen 5

After 1h attempting to connect to the Wifi, I give up.

I just got a 5th generation model.

I can access the login screen, enter the password for a dedicated 2.4 GHZ Network, but it does not register the connection.

Very painful process to say the least.

To balance this feedback, the rest of the setup works well. Hopefully this can be resolved.

I am sorry it took a while to fix the WiFi issue. Thank you for providing the solution for the problem you were facing:

If someone else has this issue: My SSID and/or password were too complicated. Also, I had a mixed WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi protocol. I had to create a simplified network on the same router which resolved the issue.

Thanks for updating this. An easy fix (depending on router) if known.

On balance, this is a great device and I would recommend buying this, but just have a plan to connect this to a proper WIFI that can handle these type of (very) basic WIFI devices. Adding a second router from Amazon for 30 USD might do the trick also if your current router cannot separate this network properly.

Are there any guides on how to calibrate the ph values(using ph7/10 solution) via the web interface on the Gen4? I read that you don't do it via the unit itself anyore?

Also is anyone able to please let me know the address of the web interface as often when I connect directly to the units wifi I'm not taken to the captive portal automaticlly.

I would not use the AquaWiz PH probe to measure tank PH.
