How do I connect my Trimlight Edge controller if I changed internet providers, routers, or my WI-FI password?
Have you recently changed your internet provider, replaced your router, or updated your Wi-Fi password and discovered that your Trimlight Edge controller is no longer connected? Do not worry. Your lighting system is still working properly, but the controller must be connected to your new Wi-Fi network before you can control your lights through the Trimlight Edge app again.
Your Trimlight Edge controller saves the Wi-Fi network information that was entered during the original setup process. When your network name, router, internet provider, or password changes, the controller may continue searching for the previous network. Because that network information is no longer valid, the controller cannot communicate with the Trimlight Edge app or access features that require an internet connection.
To restore the connection, you will need to reconnect your Trimlight Edge controller using your new Wi-Fi information. Before beginning, make sure you know the correct network name and password for your new router. You should also confirm that your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want your Trimlight system to use.
Keep in mind that Trimlight Edge controllers connect to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. Some modern routers combine 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz networks under the same name, while others display them as separate network options. If you experience difficulty connecting, check your router settings or contact your internet provider to confirm that the 2.4 GHz network is available.
Once the controller is connected to your new network, you should be able to access your lighting system through the Trimlight Edge app, select colors and patterns, adjust brightness, and manage your saved schedules again.
Follow the step-by-step instructions below to reconnect your Trimlight Edge controller and resume enjoying your permanent outdoor lighting system.
