Yes. You can maintain your current internet connection.

There are several known issues that prevent your LinkSquare from being used in IoT Mode, including:

- Wi-Fi frequency bands other than 2.4GHz,

- Wi-Fi standards other than 802.11b/g/n,

- 802.11n with Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) index value 8 or higher,

- Wi-Fi router not supporting mDNS service discovery,

- Wi-Fi router requiring an extra authentication step, such as a Terms and Services agreement page, or

- In case of computer, firewall settings blocking mDNS service discovery.

- 802.11b/g is fully supported.

- 802.11n with MCS index value 7 or lower is fully supported.

- 802.11n with MCS index value 8 or higher is not supported.

- Other 802.11 standards are not supported.

Go to Control Panel > System and Security > Windows Firewall > Advanced Settings. Under 'Inbound Rules', there should be an entry that allows connections with UDP protocol to local port 5353. It should not be bound to a specific program.

When your LinkSquare is preparing for discovery, the blue LED lights around the LS Button will blink quickly for up to 30 seconds. When your LinkSquare is ready for discovery, the blue LED lights around the LS Button will begin to blink slowly, approximately once every 1.5 seconds. If the LED lights are green, press the LS Button once so that the LinkSquare device can change its connection mode.

If a LinkSquare device is connected to an existing Wi-Fi network, it becomes ready for discovery. There is a chance that the device is connected to a Wi-Fi network other than the one that your computer (iPhone) is connected to. In this case, switch to AP Mode and change the Wi-Fi network information using the LS Config program (through the Device Settings page).

The Device List shows available LinkSquare devices by their names. The initial device name is a 7-digit alphanumerical word. The three numbers at the end of the initial device name are the same as the last three digits of your Unique Device ID (UDID) (found in your Quick Start Guide). You can also change the device name later using the LS Config program (through the Device Settings page). Once you change the device name, the device list will show the new device name instead of the 7-digit initial device name.

Currently, only one software can be connected to a LinkSquare device at any one time. Please make sure that there is no other software program (e.g., LS Collector, LS Config, or LinkSquare App) using the LinkSquare device.

No. AP Mode requires you to connect to a Wi-Fi network created by your LinkSquare device. You will lose the internet connection.

The Initial Service Set Identifier (SSID) of a LinkSquare’s Wi-Fi network starts with "LS-" and ends in a 7-digit alphanumerical series. This 7-digit series is the same as the initial device name explained in the IoT Mode section; the last three numbers are the same as the last three digits of the Unique Device ID (UDID) (found in your Quick Start Guide). You can also change the device name later using the LS Config program (through the Device Settings page). Once you change the device name, the SSID of your LinkSquare’s Wi-Fi network is the "LS-" prefix followed by your chosen device name.

The initial password is eight zeros (00000000). You can change the password later using the LS Config program (through the Device Settings page).

You can reset the password to its initial value. First, turn off LinkSquare. Then press the LS Button to turn on the LinkSquare device. Keep holding the LS Button for approximately 20 seconds, until the LED lights around the LS Button flash. It indicates that the password is initialized.

Based on the SSID of the current Wi-Fi network, your computer (iPhone) is not connected to a LinkSquare device. Please make sure that the Wi-Fi network connection is properly set up.

In AP Mode, only one device, such as a computer, smartphone, or tablet, can be connected to your LinkSquare’s Wi-Fi network at any one time. Please make sure that no other device is connected to it.
