WiFi issues
Had a very hard time setting this up thru the app, took around 2 hours but I got it to work after tons of trials and errors.
Difficult
After trying about 1000 times, I finally connected to Wi-Fi. I disabled my 5 GHz network. Using an iPhone. I went to settings, tapped wifi, tapped the i on my 2.4 GHz, scrolled down, and turned off private wifi address. Then, I followed the set-up instructions on this app. Finally, success!
Doesn’t work anymore
I could not get this to work after multiple attempts using an iPhone 17 Pro and iOS 26 and the WS-2902B station.
Luckily, I had an old Android device laying around (Pixel 3 with Android 12), so I downloaded the app on that, and it worked on the first try.

192.168.4.0/24 Network Issues
It is true, this app is not very good. However, I did eventually get it to work. I ran into a particularly challenging issue and I thought I would describe my findings here.
My home Wi-Fi network is broadcasting 192.168.4.0/23. The device’s Wi-Fi is also on 192.168.4.0. This causes a conflict so that, even after you correctly configure the device, it cannot then connect to your Wi-Fi.
The solution was to set up a separate Wi-Fi network with a different address space. I was then able to configure the device.

GUI doesn’t work
Got rude advice from AW staff on updating to a new router. I went a year without being able to connect. Finally ordered a new display unit because they said that must be the issue. NOPE. It was the GUI on the AWNET app. Finally was able to update on the web. Wasted $85 on an unnecessary display unit.
