Is my router supported?

DMIT and Incompatible Hardware

Although DMIT is compatible with most networking equipment, some network devices are incompatible. 
Usually when networking hardware does not work with DMIT, it’s because it lacks support for the network protocols that DMIT uses to operate.

The equipment below is incompatible with DMIT. Be aware that the majority of this list is made up of older networking equipment, but may still exist as part of a home network. We try to keep this list up-to-date, but it is only indicative. If you have a question about your router or other network equipment, please see the Wi-Fi Troubleshooting section at the end of this article.

Network hardware that may be incompatible without adjusting default settings:

• Cisco RE1000 - Router Defaults to WEP encryption
• D-LinkDIR-300 - Multiple setup attempts may be required by users.
• MotorolaSBG6580 - Defaults to WEP encryption
• Western Digital AC1300-J2F - Change Channel Width to 20Mhz
• Netgear Nighthawk N7000 - Known issue when 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz share the same name
• Linksys E4200 - Known issue when 2.54Ghz and 5Ghz share the same name 
• EdgeMax routers - Router Defaults to WEP encryption
• Netgear / WPN824V3 - Router Defaults to WEP encryption
• Linksys / WRT54GS - Router Defaults to WEP encryption
• Linksys / WRT54G - Router Defaults to WEP encryption 

Wi-Fi Extenders FAQ

• Extenders will work with the Rachio under some restrictions.
• If the DMIT is in a central location that can connect to both the extender and the main access point, the DMIT may bounce between both access points.
• If you see frequent disconnects you will want to make the SSIDs have different names and passwords

Wi-Fi Channels

• The DMIT only supports channels 1-11. In Europe, 2 additional channels (12 and 13 are available). If your router moves to one of those channels the network will likely become invisible to the DMIT and drop offline or be unable to connect.
