RV Whisper Launcher Phone App Connection
Does the “RV Whisper Launcher” phone app connect to your RV Whisper Monitor Station’s “Local WiFi” during the Setup / Change Settings step? If it does, follow these steps:
-
Check the “Currently Connected Network” displayed on the Network Settings page. If it says “Not Connected,” select your RV WiFi network from the list, enter your RV’s WiFi password, and click SAVE AND REBOOT.
-
If your RVM is successfully connected to a WiFi router, the Currently Connected Network will show that connection. If it’s connected to your RV WiFi network, then the WiFi setup is completed.
Manual WiFi Setup Instructions
If you prefer to use laptops, phones, or tablets for the manual WiFi setup process, refer to page 4 of the RV Whisper User Manual here for detailed instructions. This guide will walk you through the steps to connect successfully.
Local WiFi Connection Issues
Is the “Local WiFi” connection between your phone and the RVM2-xxxx or RVM1-xxxx WiFi network appearing and disappearing every few minutes? This may indicate an incorrect WiFi password entered for your RV WiFi network. Follow these troubleshooting steps:
-
Temporarily turn off your RV WiFi router.
-
Verify that the RVM2-xxxx WiFi network is visible in your phone’s WiFi settings and that the RV Whisper Launcher phone app can now connect to and stay connected to your RVM2-xxxx WiFi network.
-
Find another WiFi network to temporarily connect to. It could be a personal hotspot on a phone, but if you’re using an iPhone or iPad Personal Hotspot, make sure to follow these instructions here to allow connections to it.
-
Follow the RV Whisper setup steps to connect to your new temporary WiFi network. You can use the RV Whisper Launcher phone app on a different phone or follow the Manual WiFi Setup instructions mentioned earlier.
-
After connecting to your new temporary WiFi network and completing the SAVE & REBOOT step, wait for 2 minutes and check if the “Gateway Login” feature is now working. If it works, proceed to the next step. If not, repeat step 6 or contact [email protected] or call 410-286-3060 for further assistance.
-
Turn your RV WiFi router back on and wait a few minutes for it to boot up.
-
In the RV Whisper Launcher app, reload the Settings page (gear icon) and click the NETWORK button. You should now be able to see your RV WiFi network in the list of available networks. Select your RV WiFi Network, enter your RV WiFi password carefully, and click SAVE & REBOOT.
-
You may need to wait for a minute and reload the Settings page (click the gear icon) to rescan for WiFi networks. Then, click the NETWORK button to see if your RV WiFi network shows up in the list of available WiFi networks.
Troubleshooting your RV WiFi router login doesn’t have to be daunting. By following these steps, you can easily resolve any connectivity issues and ensure a seamless experience during your travels.
