Due to a recent change around Wi-Fi setup within Apple’s Airport Setup software in the latest OS update 14.2, our in-app setups will fail for Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge.
As a workaround, the following steps must be followed in this exact order:
- Ensure your Yale Connect Wi-Fi Bridge is in setup mode by holding down the Yale button for 5 seconds and letting it go. It should start blinking green slowly to indicate it's ready to be set up.
- Begin the in-app setup within the Yale Access App.
- The App will ask you to choose a lock to connect to (Connect) or to name your Doorbell.
- The app will have you verify the network you wish to connect your device to (Connect: 2.4GHz only).
- After selecting Next, the app will hang on Configuring Wi-Fi.
- It’s very important to FORCE CLOSE your Yale Access App. Do not hit Cancel, Quit, or allow it to error out.
- Open your Settings app for your iOS device and go to Wi-Fi.
- Scroll down and you will see your device under Set Up New Device.
- Tap on your device name and it will initiate the setup flow. If you fail the setup, place your device into setup mode and repeat Step 7 + Step 8.
