Feit produces decent smart home products that improve our daily lives and the security and control of our homes. So, how to connect your Feit Electric device to WIFI?
Hooking your Feit device to your home network is a pretty straightforward process. You only need a stable internet connection, a smartphone, and a Feit device.
You can add any Feit Electric device to your Wi-Fi network through the Feit Electric app.
In this article, I’ll walk you through the connection process for your Feit smart bulbs and other popular Feit devices.
How To Connect Feit Electric to Wi-Fi
To connect your Feit Electric device to Wi-Fi, download the Feit electric app, set up an account, and choose your location. Once the app is set, power up the Feit device and use the app to link the device to your home network.
Importantly, take note that Feit devices, like most smart home devices, don’t support the 5 GHz network frequency band. Ensure that your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network.
Despite the setup process being pretty simple, many people experience trouble connecting their devices to a Wi-Fi network. A simple mistake can keep you troubleshooting your network for hours.
So, before you begin the setup process, ensure the following;
- Your router is set to broadcast a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. The Wi-Fi SSID password is needed during the setup process, have it at your fingertips.
- Disable Virtual Private Network (VPN) on your mobile device. The same goes for Ad-guard or Adblocker.
- The smartphone or tablet should be connected to the same network to which you are attempting to pair your device.
- The Feit device and mobile device should be close to the router for maximum signal strength. The devices should be within your Wi-Fi network range.
- Reset the Feit device or be in pairing mode when connecting to your network.
With the above conditions met, your device should successfully connect to your home network unless it has any underlying issue.
That said, let’s connect some devices.

To connect your Feit lights, ensure your mobile device is connected to a 2.4 GHz network and the VPN is disabled.
