  Hi there, some general connection tips you can try with Firewalla AP7:

  • Try using a 2.4 GHz-only SSID. Some IoT devices can’t connect to 5 GHz or 6 GHz.
  • Try using a WPA/WPA2 SSID instead of newer security types, especially for older IoT devices.
  • Disable 5 GHz DFS Channels if your device doesn’t support it, or if you live near an airport or military base with radar interference.

  For more tips, see our guide on Optimizing Your Wi-Fi.

  Let me know if these help.
