How do I change the wifi on my Teckin smart plug?

Answered by Frank Schwing

To change the Wi-Fi network on your Teckin smart plug, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. Start by ensuring that your Teckin smart plug is plugged into an electrical outlet and turned on.

2. Open the Smart Life app on your smartphone or tablet. If you don’t already have the app, you can download it from the App Store (for iOS devices) or Google Play Store (for Android devices).

3. Log in to the Smart Life app using your account credentials. If you don’t have an account, you’ll need to create one before proceeding.

4. Once you’re logged in, you’ll be presented with the main screen of the Smart Life app. Look for the “+” symbol or the “Add Device” button, usually located at the top right corner of the screen. Tap on it to start adding a new device.

5. On the next screen, you’ll see a list of device categories. Scroll down or search for “Socket” or “Smart Plug” and select it. This will initiate the pairing process for your Teckin smart plug.

6. Now, you’ll need to put your Teckin smart plug into pairing mode. To do this, locate the power button on the plug itself. Press and hold the power button for about 5 seconds or until you see the LED indicator on the plug start flashing rapidly. This indicates that the plug is now in pairing mode.

7. Return to the Smart Life app on your smartphone or tablet. It should now be scanning for nearby devices in pairing mode. Once your Teckin smart plug is detected, it will appear on the app’s screen. Tap on it to proceed with the setup.

8. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup process. This usually involves connecting your smartphone or tablet to the Wi-Fi network broadcasted by the smart plug. You may need to enter your Wi-Fi network’s password during this step.

9. After successfully connecting your smartphone or tablet to the smart plug’s Wi-Fi network, you’ll be prompted to select the Wi-Fi network you want the smart plug to connect to permanently. Choose the Wi-Fi network you want to use and enter its password if required.

10. Once you’ve entered the correct Wi-Fi network information, the Smart Life app will attempt to connect the smart plug to your home Wi-Fi network. This process may take a minute or two as the app communicates with the plug and establishes the connection.

11. If the setup process is successful, you’ll receive a notification or see an on-screen confirmation that your Teckin smart plug has been successfully connected to your desired Wi-Fi network. You can now control the smart plug using the Smart Life app or other compatible smart home platforms.

It’s worth mentioning that the exact steps and interface may vary slightly depending on the version of the Smart Life app and the specific model of your Teckin smart plug. However, the general process should remain similar.

Remember, if you encounter any issues during the setup process, make sure you’re following the instructions correctly and that your Wi-Fi network is functioning properly. It’s also a good idea to double-check that you’re using the latest version of the Smart Life app and that your smartphone or tablet is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want to connect the smart plug to.

I hope this detailed guide helps you change the Wi-Fi network on your Teckin smart plug successfully. If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to ask.
