The Test Network button can be used to test network connectivity for troubleshooting
purposes. The network test will verify connectivity to four destinations:
Checking Wi-Fi performs a ping test to the Gateway address listed in the Network
Status screen. If this test fails, check that you don't have MAC address filtering
enabled on your router.
Checking DNS performs a ping test to the DNS address listed in the Network Status
screen. If this test fails, check that the DNS address is correct. If it is wrong, correct the
DNS address under DHCP Settings on your wireless router. It is possible for this test to
fail if the DNS server does not accept ping requests.
Checking Internet performs a ping test to the Google server at IP address 8.8.8.8.
This is a well-known server that accepts ping requests on the internet. If this test fails, it
indicates an issue with the internet configuration of your wireless router.
Checking Hydrawise performs a ping test to the Hydrawise servers. If this test fails,
there may be an issue with the internet configuration of your wireless router.
Make sure the DNS server setting on the controller matches the other

wireless strength can lead to connection errors.
6. Reset router by pressing the reset button or simply unplugging and plugging back in.
