ReefBreeders Meridian Help!

[Skippy The Meh]

Trying to set up my New merdian 35. I can connect to light “merdian_35XXXXXX” then when connecting to 2.4 GHz wifi it will not accept password saying failed to connect. The password is 100% correct. I even reset it just to be sure. Any advise? This is very frustrating.

Go to the website and get instruction on resetting the WiFi on light. Happened to me once. Help

• Reset Button: Located inside the endcap. Use the included key or a flat head screwdriver to press it gently. Older versions have a gold button at the top of the reset slot, and newer versions have a black right angle button directly inside the reset button slot.

Thanks for the help! 50G long AIO. (With plans to upgrade to a 150 next year when i get approval from the wife:)

Did you get the manual control and have it plugged in? If so, unplug it and tri again or hit the reset button for 2 seconds 3 times to go into WiFi mode.

Update:

I emailed with RB end they informed me that wifi security type needs to be set to WPA2-PSK. This resolved the issue.

Thanks everyone for their help in resolving the issue!

The reset button is in a different location on the Meridian. It is by the manual control knob and you just press and hold it for a couple seconds.
