1.6 QUICK IDENTIFICATION OF THE APPLIANCE'S CONNECTION STATUS
If the Wi-Fi connection status light on the appliance's display flashes quickly, it means that the appliance is trying to connect
to the router. If, on the other hand, it flashes slowly, it means that the appliance is connected to the router but is not able to
connect to the Internet (e.g. because the ADSL network is not working); some types of appliance do not support flashing at
different speeds.
If the light is lit steadily, it means that the appliance is connected to the Internet and to the Whirlpool cloud system.

Which Wi-Fi protocols are supported?
The installed Wi-Fi adapter supports Wi-Fi b/g/n connectivity for European countries.
Which settings need to be configured in the router software?
The following settings are required for the router: 2.4 GHz enabled, WiFi b/g/n, DHCP and NAT activated.
Which WPS version is supported?
WPS 2.0 or later versions. See the router documentation.
Is there any difference between Android and iOS Smartphones (or Tablets)?
There is no difference; either operating system can be used.
Is it possible to use tethering via a mobile phone connection instead of a router?
Yes, but the cloud services are designed for devices with a permanent connection.
How can I check that my home Internet connection is working and that wireless functionality is enabled?
You can search for your smart device in the network. Before trying, disable all other data connections.
How can I check that the appliance is connected to my home Wi-Fi network?
Access the router configuration (see the router manual) and check that the MAC address of the appliance is present in the

How can I check whether the wireless functionality of the appliance is enabled?
Using the Smartphone or Tablet, check in the Whirlpool 6th Sense Live App that the appliance's network is visible and
connected to the cloud.
What might prevent the signal from reaching the appliance?
Check that the connected devices do not occupy the available bandwidth completely.
Check that the number of devices enabled for Wi-Fi connection does not exceed the maximum limit supported by the
router.
How fare should the router be from the appliance?

materials the walls are made of. The signal strength can be checked by placing your Smartphone or Tablet near the
appliance.
What can I do if the wireless connection does not reach the appliance?
Specific devices can be used to extend the coverage of your home Wi-Fi network, for example access points, Wi-Fi
repeaters and Power-line bridges (not included with the appliance).
