Network Troubleshooting

If your GLORB won’t connect to WiFi:

  1. Check Network Credentials: Ensure the WiFi name and password are correct
  2. Signal Strength: Move your GLORB closer to your router
  3. Network Compatibility: Verify your network uses 2.4GHz (GLORB doesn’t support 5GHz)
  4. Router Settings: Check if your router blocks new devices or mutlicast traffic
  5. Configure Static IP: Configure a static IP address (see below)

Static IP Address Configuration

A static IP address is a fixed network address that doesn’t change, unlike dynamic IP addresses which may change each time your GLORB connects to the network. We recommend using a static IP if you:

Instructions

You can configure a static IP address for your GLORB using one of these two methods:

  1. GLORB WiFi Settings:
    • Open Settings → WLED Controls → Config → WiFi Setup
    • Find “Static IP (leave at 0.0.0.0 for DHCP)”
    • Enter your device’s current IP address (found at the top of the page or in device settings)
    • Example: If your device shows “192.168.1.182”, enter that exact address
    • Click “Save & Connect” to apply
  2. Your Router Settings:
    • Access your router’s admin interface (check your router’s manual for instructions)
    • Look for “DHCP Reservation” or “Static DHCP” settings
    • Add a new reservation using:
      • IP Address: Your GLORB’s current IP address
      • MAC Address: Found in GLORB’s Settings → About section

Note: Format MAC address with colons between each pair of characters. Example: MAC “1051db2dd290” becomes “10:51:DB:2D:D2:90”
