If you’ve been directed to this article during setup, then your Android device has a setting enabled that will prevent you from setting up Blink. Many Android devices have an advanced Wi-Fi setting designed to avoid poor Wi-Fi connections.This setting may be called:

• Auto Network Switch 
• Smart Network Switch 
• Avoid Poor Wi-Fi connections
• Avoid Bad Wi-Fi connections
• Adaptive Wi-Fi
• Switch to mobile data
• Xiaomi Wi-Fi Assistant

In the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, S5 and S6 it’s called Smart Network Switch. This feature automatically switches the device’s Wi-Fi network to the best available signal connection if the device senses that the current connection has problems (such as no internet connection). This happens very quickly: as soon as the phone connects to the Blink-#### network, the OS switches the device back to a working Wi-Fi network. Blink setup isn’t possible while the feature is enabled. The Blink-#### network is only used for setup and doesn’t provide an internet connection.

2. Tap Smart Network Switch to disable this feature.
