Inkbird ITC-308 Wifi will not connect

[TheDivrDwn]

My new ITC-308 WiFi will not connect. I've tried using the AP mode workaround as well. Router runs 2.4g and 5g simultaneously. Do I need to shut the 5g off? Please assist.

Try not using the 5G option

Yes, if it's trying to connect to your 5G it won't connect. I think Inkbird even states this in their docs. Only 2.4 wifi.

I had the worst pairing issue with my 306a (also wifi). Ended up having to unplug and plug and unplug a few times in AP mode. Definitely 2.4. Worst device pairing experience in a few years for some reason.

It's been attempting to connect via 2.4g but I'll try shutting the 5g off completely.

This worked FYI. I had to disable the 5g band on my router and the controller connected on the first attempt following.
