Connect to the Wi-Fi network similar to "NewThermostat." If you don't know how to connect to a wireless network, refer to How to Connect to a Wireless Internet Connection. Generally, you need to tap on the network name to connect.

Open a web browser. If you're on your phone or computer, you should be redirected to a list of available networks to which you can connect your thermostat's network.
- If you aren't automatically redirected to the Wi-Fi setup page, go to http://192.168.1.1.

Select your home's network, enter the password, and then tap Connect. If you don't have a network set up, refer to How to Set up a Wireless Network (WiFi) Connection.

Check your thermostat screen. It'll display a "Wait" message until it has connected to your WiFi. You can either control it from Total Connect Comfort's website or the mobile app. The thermostat's display will show you the Wi-Fi signal strength in the upper right corner of the display screen.^{[3]
