Connecting aibo to the Wi-Fi network for Internet access

Internet connection through a Wi-Fi network is needed to automatically update aibo's system software. Updates to the system software add new features to aibo, improve user experience, or enhance information security.

To ensure that your life with aibo is kept up to date, it is recommended that you connect your aibo to the Internet through your Wi-Fi network.

Note

  • While the network switch located behind the lid on aibo's torso is in the “OFF” position, aibo is not capable of connecting to any network. Make sure that the network switch is in the “2” position.

  • When your Wi-Fi router/access point is configured in stealth mode or the WEP encryption method is used for the security settings, the name of your Wi-Fi router/access point is not included in the network list. Change the Wi-Fi router/access point settings.

  • If your aibo cannot use the mobile network, configure the Wi-Fi settings using a QR code.

    When using the smartphone app, the screen automatically switches to the Wi-Fi setup screen using a QR code.

    When using the computer app, select [Select Wi-Fi network] to switch to the Wi-Fi setup screen using a QR code.

    While a QR code scan is in progress, aibo sits down and repeats saying “Tick, tock, tock, ...” for one minute*. To cancel the QR code scan, say “Stop” to aibo.
