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
