Jebao Aqua App Connection Problems

[TacticalReef]

I am trying to connect a MLW-20 to the Jebao Aqua app and it continues to fail.

I am running the newest iOS and most recent version of the Jebao Aqua app.
I renamed and confirmed I am on my 2.4ghz network.
I have restarted the controller and my router multiple times.

When I go through the setup I get "unknown ssid" when I am at the connection screen.

Any ideas or solutions?

SOLUTION:
Turns out in order for the app to recognize the network it has to have location services enabled. I normally do not like turning on location services but after doing that it did allow for the pump to connect via wifi to the app so I can easily control it.

I am so glad you shared this. I was getting a little grumpy last night trying to connect to mine.

Yes most smart devices applications will require that setting. The app is still crap however.

Any one know what the "timer" option is? I would love to buy some if they sell them. So far I haven't seeing any.

Should I turn on the location services on my phone or the router?
