Some Android™ versions have an option called Smart network switch or sometimes called Mobile Network Switch and Auto-switch to mobile network. This option allows your Android device to switch between saved Wi-Fi and data connections on its own. With this option enabled, your smart device may switch back to your saved Wi-Fi or data connections while you are performing the setup on your Wemo®, causing the setup to fail. Before setting up your Wemo, it is recommended that you disable this feature.
