To use your projector, the very first step is to get it connected to WiFi. Here's how to do that with an Android Phone or Tablet.
NOTE: If you encounter problems at any point in this process, see our troubleshooting guide.
STEP 1
Plugin your Luxedo device and wait for the software to boot up, this should take a couple of minutes. When it is ready, you should see it projecting the following slide of text (left) and/or the following orange symbol (right) in the top-left.
STEP 2
Download Google Chrome from your cellphone’s app store. Skip this step if you already have Google Chrome downloaded.
STEP 3
Every Luxedo projector broadcasts its own hotspot network so that you can get the projector connected to WiFi. This hotspot network does not actually connect to the internet and only exists so that you can control the projector with your phone.
Connect your phone to the Luxedo device using your cellphones WiFi connection. Open the phone's WiFi settings and let it scan for networks. You should see a network named LuxedoXXXX (where XXXX is your projector's ID number) after a few moments. Make sure you are close to your projector when you are trying to connect to its network.
Connect to the LuxedoXXXX network and enter the password that is printed on the pamphlet that is included in the box with your Luxedo device.
When you are connected, the network will appear at the top of the list and will say 'No internet' just under it.
WARNING: Android in particular often will try to avoid connecting to a network without internet. You may have to tap on a banner that pops up and expressly allow connection to the network. You may even have to temporarily disable your cellular data. See our troubleshooting guide for more info.
STEP 4
Open the Google Chrome app on your cellphone.
STEP 5
Navigate to 'connectmyluxedo.com' by typing it in the URL slot of the browser. The Luxedo connection page (pictured below) should load (if it does not, see the troubleshooting guide). Then press 'Connect to WiFi'.
STEP 6
Press 'Scan for Networks'
STEP 7
Select the network you want to connect to. In our case, it's 'DRIVE_INC' - yours will be whatever your home WiFi is named.
STEP 8
Type in the password to your network and press 'Connect'
STEP 9
If your device has successfully connected to the internet, you will see a large green checkmark. If connection fails, ensure your password is correct, refresh the page and re-enter your password. If your connection continues to fail, see the troubleshooting guide.
STEP 10
Disconnect from the Luxedo hotspot network (LuxedoXXXX) on your phone. All successive control of your projector can now be done through the internet from anywhere and any device.
