Step by step.
A few reasons may be preventing the MyDolphin Plus app from connecting to your robot.
Click below on the option that applies to you to see the troubleshooting steps:
For My Dolphin Plus™:
My Power Supply AND/OR Motor Unit has been replaced and I cannot connect to the App anymore
If a new or replacement power supply does not locate the robot, there are a few steps that will help resolve the issue:
-
Delete and reinstall the MyDolphin Plus app.
-
Reset the power supply unit by disconnecting it from the electrical outlet for 60 seconds and then plug it back in.
-
Place the robot back in the pool and turn it on using the power supply unit's ON/OFF button. Let the robot operate for about 5 minutes. Do not connect to the app yet.
-
While the robot is working in the pool, make sure that you are standing near the power supply unit. Install the MyDolphin Plus app and then reconnect.
I have connected previously, and cannot connect anymore.
- Make sure that you are using the latest version of the app. Complete the app update if needed.
- Verify that the network name has not been changed and that the phone is connected to the same network the app intends to connect.
- Please reset the power supply and router by disconnecting each from the electric outlet, waiting 30 seconds, and reconnecting.
- We suggest deleting and reinstalling the app, ensuring you have allowed the pop-up notification "Allow while the app is working". Make sure you have enabled all operating conditions needed for the app to work correctly (Location Services, Bluetooth, 3G/4G, or Wi-Fi with at least 60% in signal strength).
- Verify that your Wi-Fi network is set on 2.4GHz only and not on 5GHz or dual band.
I am connected, but the signal keeps disconnecting
It could be that your pool area's Wi-Fi signal is low, which could cause connectivity issues.
To resolve this issue, we recommend the following:
- Place your power supply closer to your home router/extender.
- Place your router closer to the power supply.
- You can also use an extender for the Wi-Fi signal. (In this case, please consult with your local internet provider.)
For more help, you can also consult the General Wi-Fi Connectivity Guide.
If you receive a message that MyDolphinPlus is incompatible with your robot model, download the MyDolphin App or verify if your robot model includes an app in the User Manual here.
