V16 / C74443 Adding & Connecting Your Station to Wi-FI
The La Crosse View app is required to connect the station to your Wi-Fi network. Download, install,
and log into your La Crosse View account first.
Follow the initial app instructions or manually add the display into your account.
New User Initial Setup: When first setting up your station, the app will lead you through a series of
instructions to help get your station added into your account and connected to your home Wi-Fi network
Manually Add & Connect Display: After the initial walkthrough, stations can be added and connected via the Devices tab in the app’s main menu. Simply tap the Add Device or + button at the bottom of the Devices page in the app.
Next, the app will prompt you to use your phone to scan the device ID barcode located on the back of the station. Please note, adding a device to your account and connecting it to Wi-Fi are two different steps. You can complete either step separately if you have any trouble.
When connected, the station will beep, and time and forecast information should populate on the
display. The WiFi indicator will also become solid.
Checking Your Station's Wi-Fi Status
Press the SET button on the top of the station to view your Wi-Fi status.
All OK Connected - Your station is connected to your Wi-Fi network and its data should be available on the station and in the app.
No Weather Service - Your Internet weather and time services are not connecting. These should resolve on their own, please be patient
See App to Connect: Check the app for notifications.
Lost Wi-Fi - Check your router and network connections.
Other Connection Options
WPS Option: If you follow the instructions in the app and cannot connect your station to the app, you can try connecting via WPS if your router has a WPS button.
1. Activate WPS on your router. This can be done using a dedicated WPS button on the router itself and/or through your router's app or browser-based admin panel. Please consult your router's manual for specific instructions as these can vary by model. Once WPS is activated on your router, you will typically have about 2 minutes to complete the next step
2. On your La Crosse Technology display, press and hold down both the SET and MINUS (-) buttons together for about 5 seconds. You should hear a beep and the display will enter WPS mode, allowing it to connect to your router automatically.
3. After this process is initiated, your router should begin communicating directly with the La Crosse Technology display. If successful, you should notice updated internet time, date, and weather forecast information as well as a solid Wi-Fi indicator shortly after the display connects.
