Problems setting WiFi?
Sometimes the wifi config menu option doesn't appear (because the device is not ready), or the WiFi scan or update step might get stuck. Some versions of Chrome might also have reliability issues with the Web Serial API. Here are some things to try:
- Try restarting the device by removing USB.
- Reconnect, and reload this page.
- Open "Flash Firmware" again, select the USB port of the clock.
- Select "Configure WiFi" again. If you don't see the option, close the menu and try again.
Flash failed and device is not showing up?
- Hold the BOOT button (the button farthest from the USB-C port) while connecting USB, then release
- Try clicking "Install" again while holding BOOT
- Make sure no other application is using the serial port
