Common Login Issues and Solutions
Here are some of the common login problems with Winegard ConnecT and their solutions, explained in a logical order:
- Could not get to the Login Page: This may occur in a situation where your device is not properly connected to the Winegard network. To fix this issue, make sure your device is connected to the right Winegard Wifi network. If these do not solve the problem, clear your browser cache or use an alternative browser.
- Wrong Username or Password: In the case where the default login/username and password (admin, admin) have not been accepted, the password has probably been changed and forgotten. If you’ve lost such a password, it will most likely be easier to put the device into factory default by holding the factory reset button sterilized for thirty seconds. This will enable you to log in using the provided login details.
- Weak Wi-Fi Signal: To fix this issue, get close to the Winegard device to increase the signal. It is also important that you inspect any devices, electric or otherwise, or any big obstructions that may cause interference in the reception of signals from the router towards your device.
- Winegard Network Not Appearing: If you are unable to locate any Wi-Fi network on your device, turn off the Winegard system and turn it back on in order to reboot the system. Clean out the power and make sure that the antenna is seated in the unit. If the network does not show up, ensure that the system has completed booting up.
- Browser Failure: Select other browsers like Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. If that still does not help, you should try clearing all browser cache data which might have been responsible for this.
