How the Pod uses Wi-Fi

How your Pod finds, remembers and switches between Wi-Fi networks.

How the Pod connects

  • The Pod first looks for Wi-Fi networks it already remembers.
  • If it finds one nearby, it connects automatically.
  • If it remembers more than one available network, it picks the one with the strongest signal.
  • If it doesn’t remember any nearby network, it turns on its own hotspot so you can set it up.

The Pod can remember up to 15 Wi-Fi networks and passwords.

Hotspot mode and normal mode

Once the Pod connects to your home Wi-Fi, it switches to normal Wi-Fi mode. It does not stay in hotspot mode.

To turn the hotspot back on, press and hold the left button for 5 seconds. The LED eyes turn blue.

Can I disconnect the Pod from Wi-Fi?

You can’t manually disconnect the Pod from Wi-Fi. MyWonder is a connected device and needs Wi-Fi for its full experience, including AI conversations, new content and updates.

Some features still work without Wi-Fi, such as playing audio that is already downloaded to the Pod. See Content Cards.

What Wi-Fi enables

With a stable internet connection, the Pod can:

  • Talk with AI characters
  • Download new content and updates
  • Receive firmware (over-the-air) improvements
  • Sync playlists and Make Your Own Cards from the Parent App
