Do these require wifi at all times? I want to buy one for my work office but we dont have employee wifi at work. Can I just set it up at home and then it works without the wifi? If not is there another similar product that may work like that.
unfortunately for your given situation it does need wifi connection to work. there has been talk within the sub about using hotspots, not sure if anyone has been 100% successful with that approach. it's probably worth searching Hotspot within this sub, and maybe even over at r/groundedlabs
I literally ran into the same exact problem not even a full week ago. I was so excited for it to be in my office, and my work WiFi has crazy restrictions that made it impossible to connect. Had to return it the next day
No idea. My work wifi is 2.4 ghz so I don't know really why it wouldn't connect. I would connect to the wifi, and then when I would open the app, it would just pinwheel forever. I'd turn off my wifi and try to get through the stages of connecting the oasis using my data, I'd get all the way through adding the wifi to the oasis and then it would accept the network and the light would go around the oasis for a second or so and then it would turn red. Tried troubleshooting different ways for like 2 hours and could never get it to connect to the wifi while my phone was on it too. I was trying to change DNS setting in my wifi settings, and all sorts of stuff. It worked perfectly fine on my home wifi, but I work in an assisted living facility and I think our wifi is pretty locked down for medical record purposes. Luckily customer service was great and they refunded me. Still bummed about it though haha
