Ensure your Onforu devices perform optimally with helpful tips for verifying, resetting, and reconnecting your Wi-Fi password.
Are you encountering an incorrect Wi-Fi password message in the Onforu app? Here are some important reminders:
- Wi-Fi Password Sensitivity: Wi-Fi passwords are case-sensitive and sensitive to special characters (e.g., *@$#!). Please double-check the capitalization and placement of letters.
- Router Label: If you haven't changed your Wi-Fi password since setting up your router, it might be located on a sticker on the underside of your router.
- Verify with Other Devices: Connect other devices to your Wi-Fi network using the last known password to ensure it is still valid.
- Network Confirmation: If you have multiple networks or a Wi-Fi extender, make sure you are connecting to the correct one.

Follow our guide on locating your Wi-Fi password.
Special Characters in Your Wi-Fi Password
Occasionally, special non-alphanumeric characters (e.g., *@$#!) can cause issues during the initial setup of your device. To resolve this:
- Temporarily change your Wi-Fi password on your router.
- Create a temporary guest network to set up your Onforu device.
- Set up your Onforu device on a different Wi-Fi network.
Once your Onforu device is successfully set up and connected to the internet, it will update its firmware. You can then restore your previous network password or remove the guest network if you created one.
Reconnecting Your Onforu Device to Wi-Fi
If you change your router password after setting up your Onforu device, you will need to reconnect it. Here’s how:
- Open the Onforu app.
- Tap the menu (+).
- Select "Devices."
- Choose the device you wish to reconnect.
- Tap "Change Wi-Fi Network" in the Network section.

Password Change via the Onforu App
If you know your original password, the Onforu app is the easiest way to change it.
Receiving an Error Message When Logging In
If you encounter issues, try uninstalling the app, restarting your phone, and then reinstalling the app. Log in using either Wi-Fi or cellular data only. As a temporary measure, consider changing your password to something simple, like Onforu1234 or 12345678.
