Wi-Fi Wizard Training

The Wi-Fi Wizard provides step-by-step guidance to help you connect your Envision Glasses to the internet, whether it is an iPhone hotspot, an Android hotspot, or a regular router.
This feature aims to make it easier for new and existing users to stay connected anywhere, anytime.

To access the Wi-Fi Wizard, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to Help in the category menu, and go to Trainings.
2. Go to the Wi-Fi Wizard and do a one-finger double tap to start the guide. Simply follow the instructions to get connected.

Hotspot on iOS

Before you begin, let’s make sure your iPhone’s hotspot is set up just the way you need it. Start by going to Settings, then Personal Hotspot or Cellular Data. Here, you can create a secure password under Wi-Fi Password—remember, it needs to have at least 8 characters. Please, take a moment to check your Wi-Fi network name, which is simply the name of your device. If you’d like to customize this, you can do so in Settings under General by tapping on About.

Connecting to the iPhone's Personal Hotspot for the first time

To connect your Envision Glasses to your iPhone’s personal hotspot for the first time, you’ll need to generate a QR code for the hotspot password. You have two convenient options for this:

Option 1: Use a second screen such as a laptop, desktop, tablet, or second smartphone. Follow these steps:

1. Open a web browser on your second screen and visit letsenvision.com/qr
2. Enter your iPhone’s personal hotspot password and click on Create Wi-Fi QR.
3. A QR code will appear with your hotspot password, ready to be scanned by your Envision Glasses.

Option 2: Use your iPhone’s browser:

1. Open your preferred browser on your iPhone and go to letsenvision.com/qr
2. Enter your hotspot password and create the QR code directly on your iPhone screen.

Helpful Tip: To make sure your personal hotspot is ready, turn it on and make it discoverable from the Control Center or Settings —go to Personal Hotspot and enable Allow Others to Join. For the best scanning experience, maximize your iPhone screen’s brightness and turn off any screen curtain. If you have any assistance available, they can help ensure that the QR code is fully displayed on the screen. You can also zoom out on the browser page to make sure the entire QR code is visible.

Connecting on Envision Glasses: Step-by-Step

Now, let’s connect your Envision Glasses:

1. On your Envision Glasses, go to Settings and select Wi-Fi.
2. Tap Search for Wi-Fi Connections and wait until you hear your iPhone’s name.
3. Tap on Use a QR Code to connect and, with your Envision Glasses on, look towards the QR code on your screen.

Once connected, you’ll hear a confirmation sound, and you’re ready to go.

Connecting to iPhone's Personal Hotspot after the First Time

Once your Envision Glasses have connected to your iPhone’s hotspot for the first time, they’ll remember the password for easy reconnecting in the future. Here’s how to reconnect smoothly:

Quick Method:

1. From your iPhone’s Control Center, turn on your Personal Hotspot and set it to discoverable.
2. On your Envision Glasses, activate Voice Commands by pressing the Hinge Button and say Quick Switch. Your Envision Glasses will automatically reconnect to your hotspot. For more guidance on Voice Commands, please refer to the Multilingual Voice Commands Tutorial.

Alternative Method:

1. Go to Settings on your iPhone, navigate to Personal Hotspot, and turn on Allow Others to Join.
2. On your Envision Glasses, activate Voice Commands by pressing the Hinge Button and say Quick Switch. Your Envision Glasses should automatically reconnect to your hotspot. For more guidance on Voice Commands, please refer to the Multilingual Voice Commands Tutorial.

Note: If you’ve changed your hotspot password since the last connection, please generate a new QR code and follow the initial connection steps again.

Hotspot on Android

To turn on your hotspot on an Android phone, complete the following steps:

1. Go to Settings.
2. Go to Network & Internet. On some Android devices, go to More instead.
3. Select Hotspot & Tethering and enable Portable Wi-Fi Hotspot.
4. Choose your Network Name and Password, then follow the steps to connect from your Envision Glasses.

Why is my Personal Hotspot not detected by Envision Glasses?

If your Envision Glasses are not detecting your iPhone’s personal hotspot, here are some steps to help troubleshoot and ensure a smooth connection:

1. Check that personal hotspot is available with your mobile plan: Go to your iPhone’s Settings and search for Personal Hotspot or Cellular options. If these options are available, you can proceed. If you don’t see them, contact your carrier to confirm that your plan supports personal hotspot.

2. Make sure your personal hotspot is shareable: In Settings, go to Personal Hotspot or Cellular and enable Allow Others to Join. If you’re unable to turn on personal hotspot, check that your wireless carrier has enabled it and that your plan supports this feature.

3. Generate a QR Code: For the initial connection, iOS users can choose to generate a QR code for their hotspot password using either their iPhone’s browser or an additional screen, such as a laptop or tablet, if a larger display is preferred. Simply visit letsenvision.com/qr, enter your password, and create the QR code. Once connected, your Envision Glasses will remember the password, so you won’t need to repeat this step unless you change it.

4. Set a custom Wi-Fi password: Under Allow Others to Join in Personal Hotspot settings, tap Wi-Fi Password to set a preferred password with at least 8 characters.

5. Update your Envision Glasses and Envision App to the latest version: To check if you’re using the latest software for your Envision Glasses and Envision App, please refer to the New Updates & Release Notes

6. Restart your iPhone and Envision Glasses: If you’re experiencing connection issues, restart both your iPhone and Envision Glasses. To power off Envision Glasses, press and hold the button for 3 seconds until you hear a shutdown sound, which indicates the process will complete in 20 seconds. To power on, press and hold the power button for 6 seconds. Note that boot-up takes about a minute, and there is no audio cue during this process. For more details, see Power Button Tutorial

7. Maximize Compatibility: If you’re using an iPhone 12 or newer model, enable Maximize Compatibility in Personal Hotspot settings. This may help with connections, although it may reduce internet performance and Wi-Fi security for connected devices.
