Possible problems with binding:

• When you hear the “Wi-Fi Password Error”, please check whether the Wi-Fi password you entered in the App is correct;
• When you hear the “Authentication error”, please ensure that your Wi-Fi network is not an enterprise-level network, and the device supports only the network with the security level below WPA-2;
