Take into consideration
- If you are using iOS 12, turn off your Wi-Fi completely on your iPhone.
- Only use a Wi-Fi network with 2.4GHz as Pycom devices cannot connect to a 5GHz network.
- Your device might be provisioned faster if you move your device closer to your Wi-Fi router.
- Make sure your devices are powered on and running firmware 1.20.1 or newer.
- You cannot provision the same devices on the different Pybytes account unless you erased them completely and flashed the latest firmware again with FW updater tool.
- If there is a spinning wheel on your screen, that means that your device is being provisioned. If it has disappeared, then press the START button again.
- Please take into account that we are developing a new feature and therefore some niggles can occur. (Please bear with us!) If any issues occur whilst you are using Pybytes iOS, then drop us a line at support@pycom.io.

If you have version that is later than iOS 12, check your Wi-Fi router setting. It should run on a 2.4 HGz Wi-Fi network.
