Review on SP4D US Smart Frustration-Free Setup by Broadlink by Andrew Dickens

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Disable cellular on phone

So I read all the reviews everyone left before I decide to buy. I was a little apprehensive about the purchase as I previously had several ports that were having trouble connecting to our mixed 2.4/5GHz router. You passed the first attempt in about 10 minutes. The only thing you absolutely must do is turn off the cellular network on your phone when using the device setup app. If you don't turn it off, devices will have a lot of trouble finding Wi-Fi networks to connect to. This is only mentioned as a suggestion in the installation guide, but is pretty much required. As soon as you turn off the cellular network, all Wi-Fi networks in your home will appear immediately. Even if you buy multiple connectors, you only need to configure the network settings once. The app transfers network settings to any new device you add through the app. This isn't described very well in the instructions, so I decided to make a note about it. Image shows how the completed setup appears in the Alexa phone app after you name the devices and connect the BroadLink app to Alexa.

Pros
  • Rugged build
Cons
  • No Automatic
