Written by Pranav Pallam

If you are unable to see your local Wi-Fi network in the RYSE app after connecting to the SmartBridge’s network, please follow the steps below to troubleshoot the issue.

Method 1: Using your phone

  1. Turn off Mobile Data
    Disable mobile data on the phone you are using to set up the RYSE SmartBridge.

    1. Note: You can turn off mobile data in your phone’s network settings.

    • For iOS: Go to Settings > Cellular > Cellular Data and toggle it OFF.

    • For Android: Go to Settings > Connections (or Network & Internet) > Mobile Network > Mobile Data and toggle it OFF.

  2. Pair the SmartBridge
    With mobile data turned off, follow the pairing instructions provided in the RYSE app.

  3. Scan for Wi-Fi Networks
    You should now be able to see your local Wi-Fi network on the Wi-Fi network scan screen within the app.

Method 2: Using a Computer to Connect the SmartBridge to Your Local Wi-Fi Network

Use this method if Method 1 did not resolve the issue.

  1. Prepare a Computer
    You will need access to a laptop or desktop computer.

    Note: Using the browser on your phone will not work.

  2. Connect to the SmartBridge’s Network
    On your computer, connect to the RYSE SmartBridge Wi-Fi network under your WiFi settings.

  3. Open a Web Browser
    Launch a web browser (Google Chrome, Safari, Internet Explorer, etc.).

  4. Access the SmartBridge Configuration Page
    In the URL bar, type: http://mybridge and press Enter.

  5. Connect to Your Local Wi-Fi Network
    Once the configuration page loads, you should see a list of available Wi-Fi networks.
    Select your local Wi-Fi network and enter its credentials (Wi-Fi password) to connect.

  6. Finish Setup
    Once you have connected the SmartBridge to your local Wi-Fi network, you can close the browser. The laptop or computer is no longer needed.

  7. Complete Pairing in the RYSE App
    Open the RYSE app and follow the in-app instructions to add your SmartBridge.

Your RYSE SmartBridge should now be connected to the RYSE app.
