YoLink Hubs are the gateway to the internet for your YoLink
devices. As opposed to many smart home systems, the
individual devices are
not on your network or WiFI and are
not directly connected to the internet. Instead, your devices
communicate with the Hub, which connects to the internet,
the cloud server and the app.
Your SpeakerHub can only connect to the internet via a 2.4
GHz band provided by your WiFi network Like most IoT and
home automation devices, your SpeakerHub connects only to
the 2.4 GHz WiFi band. Nearly all residential WiFi routers have
a 5
and a 2.4 GHz band. But your router may or may not
display SSIDs for
both bands or they may both have the same
name
. If you know which SSID is your 2.4 GHz band, this is the
one your Hub will connect to. With some exceptions, your
router and the SpeakerHub will connect automatically via 2.4
GHz. Some routers may attempt to connect your Hub to 5
GHz. Additional support may be needed, for example,
changing your router settings.
“5 GHz” should not be confused with “5G”
cell phone service
Multi-step authentication networks, such as
hotels and airports, are not compatible!
You can have multiple hubs, including a combination of our
original Hub and your new SpeakerHub. While the YoLink
wireless network has a ¼ mile open-air range, additional
hubs may be required in large buildings, such as high-rises,
and/or to support thousands of devices
