Overview

Here we explain to you, how you can define or update the Wi-Fi configuration of your devices.

We have three methods that work with an Android phone, Windows 10 / 11 PC and currently one method for Apple environments/Mac/iPhone.

If you are an Apple only user, and cannot temporarily organize one of the mentioned devices above, please continue with method 3.

Requirements for the network

Our devices need direct access to https://api.roomz.io on Port 443. If you are using a proxy server, please authorize the flow to this address to establish communication with our server.
