So my RT 700 that I just got set up, won’t connect to my WiFi. Plenty of WiFi strength, just keeps saying can’t find device. Any suggestions?

I had the same problem with my new Bull, I couldn't get it to connect. I just kept trying and on the 5th try it connected. If you have the newer 5ghz? Wifi router like I do it makes it more difficult to connect, I believe I saw a video from Rec Tec that mentioned that they designed the app for the older 2.4ghz? because the range is longer. Also, try disconnecting your phone and using say the 4G network. I've had way more success with the app that way than connected to my wifi router. With that said I have great success with the app in all regards after I got it to work. Monitoring things, remote starting from work to preheat before getting home, etc. Keep trying it's awesome! Hope this helps!So my RT 700 that I just got set up, won’t connect to my WiFi. Plenty of WiFi strength, just keeps saying can’t find device. Any suggestions?

Sweet! That's kinda were I was at. The more I use the app the better I get dealing with it's little idiosyncrasies. I'm still really happy with it.Idk what the issue was but I got it to work.

I noticed (eventually) that my phone was connected to the 5g part of my dual-band router. I was selecting the non-5g network in the app, as recommended, every time, but no joy. So I went nuclear: unplugged and replugged the smoker, reinstalled the app AND (and this is what did it I think) Disconnected my phone from 5g and connected it to the non-5g network. As soon as I did that I got a solid wifi light on the smoker and a successful connection in the app.So my RT 700 that I just got set up, won’t connect to my WiFi.
