Setting Up WiFi & Hotspots
Spectacles are a connected device, so you will need a Wi-Fi connection to use them.
When first pairing your Spectacles you’ll be asked to also link to a local wi-fi network. If you move to a new wi-fi area and need to connect to the local wi-fi then follow the steps below:
- Open the Spectacles App
- Select the Spectacles icon in the top left corner
- Press Select Wi-Fi Network
- Select the network you want to connect to and enter the password
Taking Spectacles Outside
Your Spectacles will automatically change to an available network when you move between networks that you have previously connected to (such as your home and your office).
We recommend you also connect to your phone’s Hotspot so if a Wi-Fi network is not available you can still keep on using your Spectacles. As a minimum a 4g connection is required when using Spectacles through a hotspot.
To connect to your hotspot:
iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Cellular > Personal Hotspot or Settings > Personal Hotspot and make sure that’s on
- Verify the Wi-Fi password and name of the phone
- Go back to the Spectacles App and tap on your phone’s hotspot name
Android:
- Swipe down from the top of the screen
- Tap Hotspot (if you don’t find hotspot at the bottom left, tap Edit and drag Hotspot into your Quick Settings)
- Go back to the Spectacles app and tap on your phone’s hotspot name
