Connecting your Athlee cameras to a permanent pool Wi-Fi gives you the best stability and performance, especially when using multiple iPads and cameras at the same time.

Step 1: Turn on the Cameras

Make sure your Athlee cameras are powered on.

Step 2: Connect the iPad to the Camera

On your iPad, go to Settings → Wi-Fi and connect to the camera’s Wi-Fi network (default name: Athlee-Streaming or the name you’ve set).

Step 3: Open the Camera Wi-Fi Management Menu

In the Athlee app, go to the Camera Wi-Fi Management menu.
This is where you set up the Wi-Fi connection for your camera.

Step 4: Open the Local Wi-Fi Management Menu

After configuring the camera’s Wi-Fi, go to the Local Wi-Fi Management menu in the app.
Here you can connect the camera to your external permanent pool Wi-Fi (access point).

Built-in Guide

Both the Camera Wi-Fi Management menu and the Local Wi-Fi Management menu include a built-in step-by-step guide that will walk you through the process on screen.

Important Notes
       •        Once a camera has been configured to connect to a permanent pool Wi-Fi, you will no longer see the camera’s own Wi-Fi network (factory default: Athlee-Streaming) in the iPad’s Wi-Fi list.
       •        Instead, you will only see the pool Wi-Fi, and that’s the network your iPad must connect to in order to access the cameras through the Athlee app.
       •        If you still see both the pool Wi-Fi name and the camera’s own Wi-Fi name on the iPad, it means:
       1.        The camera has not been successfully configured to connect to the pool Wi-Fi, or
       2.        The cameras were turned on while outside the range of the pool Wi-Fi.
       •        In these cases, either reconfigure the camera to the pool Wi-Fi, or simply turn the cameras off and on again within the pool Wi-Fi range. After that, only the pool Wi-Fi should appear on the iPad, and that’s the network you should use.
