the smart things app won't find my mc11a7033ct during setup, the wifi light just keeps blinking blue.

— asked by Morgan

Quick answer: The microwave is in pairing mode but cannot connect to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. It does not support 5 GHz bands.

Diagnosis

The microwave is in pairing mode but cannot connect to your 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. It does not support 5 GHz bands.

How to Fix It

Follow the exact sequence. On the microwave, press and hold the WiFi button for 3 seconds until 'AP' appears. On your phone, go to WiFi settings and connect to the network named 'SamsungOven_XXXX'. Then open the SmartThings app to complete setup.

If That Didn't Work

Your router may be blocking the connection. Temporarily disable your mobile data. Disable any VPN on your phone. Ensure your router's firewall doesn't block new device provisioning.

Heads Up

The microwave must be within strong range of your 2.4 GHz router. Physical obstructions like walls and large appliances significantly weaken the signal.
