The biggest problem with connecting Geeni lights or cameras (or any other brand) is connecting them to the right wifi channel. Your router will have two wifi channels; 5 gps and 2.4 gps. These devices only use the 2.4 gps signal. A steering router will always try to bring the device to the higher quality (5 gps) signal and the device will not be able to connect to it. To fix the issue, first, in settings, give each wifi channel a different name and password. During setup of the lights or cameras, make sure your phone is on the 2.4 gps channel and enter the proper password for that channel. Should be easy from there and the device will work without issues. If you don’t know how to split the wifi channels in your router, call your service provider and have them walk you through it. It’s simple. By the way, doorbell cameras only connect to 2.4 gps as well and if you’re having the same issues with them, it’s likely for the same reason. One more thing. If your device is too far away from the router and won’t connect for that reason, buy an inexpensive wifi extender. I have a tp-link model and it works great. Hope this helps.
