You may need a new network when moving locations or changing your business WiFi.

If you turn on a Displai device and no familiar WiFi networks are available, it will automatically go into setup mode so you can connect it to a new WiFi network.

To change networks while the current network remains available, text our 24/7 support line at 877-755-2332 or email support@displai.ai for help reaching setup mode.

We will need some basic information such as:

  • Email address associated with your Displai account

  • The name of each device you’d like to have a network modified

  • The exact WiFi network name to remove, when requesting network removal

Enter your new WiFi credentials in the device’s setup flow. If you need help reaching setup mode, contact support using the account and device details above.
