This information will help full when:

  • You tried the Jooki setup Wizard on your computer, and it was unsuccessful.
  • You tried connecting to jooki with your smartphone (Jooki App), and it also did not work!
    • If you have not tried using the app, click here to download Jooki app:

 

 

App store Google Play

 

 

  • Jooki is out of the box, plugged in, powered on and music plays when a character is on Jooki

"After giving the password of my home wifi to Jooki, the voice assistant of Jooki always says "please connect to the jooki setup wifi network"

 

This means that your Jooki can't connect with your home wifi.

In most cases, this is because:

  • Your network is not listed on the available networks
  • Your wifi is on 5GHz
  • Your wifi is "hidden"
  • Your wifi is on channel 12 & 13 (EU only)

 

Your network is not listed on the available networks

  • Please type it manually, in the text field. Make sure to not make errors

  • Your wifi is on 5GHz

Jooki can only use 2.4GHz WiFi networks, make sure 2.4 GHz is enabled in your router. There are two types of WiFi networks: the standard 2.4GHz and the newer 5GHz. Jooki can only use the standard 2.4GHz WiFi network.

 

>> Please find the IP address of your router, open router settings, and enable a 2.4 ghz wifi.

Please find more info here on how to acces router settings

  •   Your wifi is "hidden"

>> Please contact your network administrator to request SSID and Password of the hidden network, and manually enter the into the Jooki APP setup.

 

  • Your wifi is on channel 12 & 13 (EU only)

Jooki only supports WiFi channels 1 - 11. Check that you are not using channels 12, 13 or 14. Turn off 'auto channel selection' as your router can then select channels 12, 13 or 14 causing unpredictable behavior.

 

 

 

 

"The Jooki setup-network (jooki-xxxx-setup) is gone" ... but still, https://my.jooki.rocks can't ... "find jooki"

 

This means that your Jooki is online (you have successfully given the password to your home wifi), but the "current wifi settings" don't allow your phone to connect to your jooki

At this stage, the Jooki app is unusable! :( 

 

The "current wifi settings" can be changed in 3 ways:

1. Jooki receives new and better firmware, with better wifi setup performance. (see how below)

If that does not help

2. You go into your router and change settings (see how below)

If that does not help

3. Restart your wireless router, Jooki and the Jooki app, and re-open jooki app 

 

1. Jooki receives new and better firmware, with better wifi setup performance. 

When your jooki goes online, Jooki will automatically detect and download the latest firmware, withing 45 mins. You don't need my.jooki.rocks for this! Please allow your Jooki to stay powered on and remain connected with our server. You can do this by plugging jooki into the wall outlet / USB port. Like this, jooki will stay powered on.

Update = Jooki lights will go blue and stay blue when the latest firmware is downloaded. Your Jooki is now ready to reboot. Please power of and on Jooki again.

HANDY: To double-check without smartphone or computer, you can manually test if your Jooki has the latest software, with a combo of buttons to push: Please read info here.

 

2) You go into your router and change settings

Some routers prevent devices on the same network from talking to each other.

>> Please find the IP address of your router, go to the settings menu, and disable "AP Isolation", "Wireless Isolation", "Station Isolation" and/or "Client Isolation" in your router settings.

>> Most Public wifi (office, library, ..) have this function enabled. Please contact the network administrator, if you want to connect Jooki to this public wifi.

 

If everything else fails…

  • Restart your wireless router, Jooki and the Jooki app, and relaunch all devices and the app.
