Hope this helps to solve the issue of connecting to hotspot. I'm super happy with this robot I use amzn.to/3BltjUq - Saumya

Hi,
Solution for one phone
You are right when you say you need 2 phones but but only for setup, when you finish setup you can use your phone app to share the access to robot vaccume to the phone with hotspot. And the use app on the hostpot device to control the robot. So the you only need one phone with hotspot after this. Done....
Mam, when once the robot setup is done with the app, is it necessary to connect the device with wifi hotspot every time that when I want to clean and mop the floor? Or what else.... I am confused...mam pls clarify me
HI
MI: How much area it covers in single charging? Can it do 1000sq ft carpet ? Thanks
Hi.... just wondering. After setting & set up time for robot vacuum to operate. Does it need wifi on day today operation? I want to buy it for my parents & their home doesn't have wifi. Thanks before.
@@ws6568- They can use the robot without wifi, they just won’t be able to control it - like sending it to clean one room specifically. It will just run around by itself. Mine will do the perimeter of 3 rooms & the hallway, and then set to clean them with its own pattern, before going on to do the perimeter of the other 2 rooms and again set its own pattern to finish up.
All this rocket science for a vacuum. One would think it would be easier to just connect via Bluetooth on a phone who and why pay for wifi service at home when you have a smartphone
100% agree
This is the vacuum that connects to a Chinese controlled server. It can be turned into a listening device. Nothing nefarious can happen there, haha…💀
That’s what I always thought: Why not just use Bluetooth on one phone with the app!???
Yes but you will only be able to use the vacuum from your house. As soon as you leave the house you can't connect to it
@@etsfan1863 I can use it away but my wife's phone has to be there. Don't ask me how
Had wifi but screen won't work to choose 2.4ghb. Couldn't use mobile data and app from one phone, so this video was a godsend. First CZcams video that helped on first go, unbelievable. This worked immediately on Roborock 7 Max
This video was godsend.Clean and accurate troubleshooting.Thanks to all those involved in this video creation.Really helpful.Namaste
Thanks a lot! It solved my problems. A very detailed explanation.
Thank you!!! Using a second phone for the app to my own Wyze robot vacuum worked!!! As I don’t have home internet, just a hotspot on my main phone!!! It fussed a little bit, giving me the Notif that it wasn’t supported on 5GHz network, but after clicking off/on the Maximize Connectability toggle button under my Hotspot setting, it finally worked!!!
It’s still dumb to me though, they don’t make these “smart devices” Bluetooth connectable when many people don’t have home internet besides what they have on a phone. Then they could use only one phone. 🙄🙄🙄
Your idea to connect worked 👍👍👍gud job and thanks, regards jon gutzi
Thanks a lot, it solved my laresar L6 pro connection issues
Thank you worked well for my karcher rcv 3 too
The information you have given in this video is very much clear than the demo video given by the manufacturer
Thank you for your great tips. It works on xiaomi vacuum mop E10
Thank you very much!
Not only are you very beautiful...You got my vac working!!!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for this helpful explanation.
Glad it was useful 😊👍
Only one word. Thank you
Thanku so so much!!!!
Mam, when once the robot setup is done with the app, is it necessary to connect the device with wifi hotspot every time that when I want to clean and mop the floor? Or what else.... I am confused...mam pls clarify me
This should be Xiaomi's official MiHome app user guide video. 👍🏻
😊 thank you! Glad you found it useful
At 4:44 you mentioned that after setting the schedule, we can forget the robot and it'll run on its own. Does it still need to be connected to the hotspot or we can disconnect it entirely?
Muchas gracias por la ayuda, gracias a ti pude usar mi aspiradora, por el mismo probla de conexion he debuelto productos pensando que eran productos defectuosos, saves por que el problema de conexion ha la red, he buscado mucho y no encuentro el pronlema, lo ideal seria conectarlo al router.
Thanks for this amazing info
Thanks so much 😊
Hi soumya, thanks for the great information .Your content is helping me a lot to decide on the brands .One small suggestion ,try to do the same video in your mother tongue and Hindi so that you can reach many people.
Hi Sony! Thanks for the suggestion! Yeah I’ve been told about that 😌 I will try to do it, my fluency in Hindi is not great unfortunately. Also right now, short on time too as I do this alongside my full time job 😊 but definitely this is in my overall plan.
Hey soumya.... Thanks for this video....
You had requested me what exact problem I was facing... But I was just busy to reply to you...
I will try again according to your recommendations and will let you know whether it worked or not...
Thanks again
Great!
Hi,
Solution for one phone
You are right when you say you need 2 phones but but only for setup, when you finish setup you can use your phone app to share the access to robot vaccume to the phone with hotspot. And the use app on the hostpot device to control the robot. So the you only need one phone with hotspot after this. Done....
Hi Hitesh Patel! Thanks for sharing!
Interesting. I never thought about it as I have a WiFi router and the range suffices to control the robot. This can be useful in case you do not have a WiFi router let us say in a house shifting scenario. But having to use two mobile phones of which one is serving as a hot spot can be an expensive ( router is much cheaper than a phone and so is broadband) yet less efficient solution. But it can be used as a stop gap solution during outages.
Definitely cheaper and convenient. But if you look at the broadband vs mobile penetration rate in India - there is a huge difference (broadband is just 1.6% while mobile for internet use is 53%). So there may be cases in which a household does not have wifi but multiple people in the house have a mobile phone - which is when this becomes useful. I got many requests for this - which makes me happy that robot vacuums are becoming more mainstream (not just the tech audience ☺️).
@@TheGrapevineIndia I understand the scenario. Just wondering if you could have suggested a 4G dongle which can be kept at home. Would it not be better?
@@HarmonicaShala This video is not a manual, it's clearly a workaround for those cases on which you don't have a Wifi router.
@@JuanPalominoMusic I understand that it is a workaround. At least now I do. Thanks for your help 🙏

Hello mam,
I am confused between Viomi and Mcturing's Laseron S9.
I have multifloor house with area around 2000sqft.
(I am expecting decent mopping not having high expectation on this front)
Or any other good product in this price range that would do as well.
Viomi SE is available for 17,990 with few more discounts on Amazon. Is it the best buy?
Please share your thoughts on this.
Thankyou!
Hi Pratik, at 18k, this one amzn.to/3eL6QG0 is a good deal 😊
This was very helpful. I still had issues finding the device and it showed up as region unavailable. I had to change the region to China to get it to work. Luckily I could still select English language for the voice.
Hi Reuben, glad it worked.
@@TheGrapevineIndia it's insane how tricky it was, even with all your instuctions. I would have thought it's not possible and given up otherwise
Is the same process applicable on Haier Robo vacuum cleaner as well? How good is Haier robot?
Hi , mi robot vacuum cleaner jiofi m2s hot spot se connect ho kr kam krta hai kya , kyunki me is robot ke liye jiofi m2s kharidane ki soch rahi hun .
Thank you, you lovely lovely lady
Glad you found it useful!
Volla ,, genius
Haha thanks! It was asked multiple times in my last Mi video, so decided to make it.
Thank you very much for the detailed vedio, I am currently in the situation of a home with out WiFi.
One question pls , out of the 2 mobiles only one needs to have internet connection and that Mobile will be used as a hotspot for the mobile with the app correct?
Meaning the mobile with the app can be any kind of mobile aslong is that the app is installed and is connected to the other mobile via hotspot?
Hi! yes. the mobile with hotspot needs to have internet, the mobile with app needs to connect to the mobile with hotspot.
Can we use E10 model in india
I have planned to buy 4 A/Cs (1.5T-3, 2T) for my upcoming apartment on the top floor, room size is 240sq and living is 550sqft. Pls suggest suitable ac including Mitsubishi
Hi Raj, sorry about the delay. So for your room of 240sq ft, you will need a 1.5 ton and for your living you may need 2 ACs of about 1.5 ton instead of a single one of 2 ton as a 2ton would be sufficient for upto 400 sq ft. How much star rating? IF you are running for almost full day, go for a 5ton else go for a 3 ton. My recommendations:
1. 3 star amzn.to/3JAfzsi
2. 5 star amzn.to/3LFJjpt
Please do a video for ecovacs ozmo u2se
Hi, I'm looking for this video for long time.
Thank you.
Does it work for Ecovas also?
Hi! The concept is the same, so I expect it to work.
@@TheGrapevineIndia
Thanks
Hi madam, recently saw ur channel when i was searching for robot vaccum cleaner reviews. I watched the videos and felt good that i came to the end of my search. Just want ur opinion in last step. Plz kindly help me out in deciding. I am stuk in viomi se and mcturing s3 robots. Which one is better mam. Viomi service i doubt so i am confused
Hi Shehewar, Viomi service is managed by cambium retail and McTuring is by their own service network. Instead of S3, you may want to consider their newer model S9 - which is quite good per feedback I've been receiving. I'll be creating a video on S9 soon as well. amzn.to/3eL6QG0 is a great model as well, can't go wrong.
@@TheGrapevineIndia thank you so much for your reply. Yes I have seen S9. Planning to book it now. 👍
Mam planning to buy
Mecturing laseron S9/Mi robo vacuum/Milagrow imap 10
Will Mecturing laseron S9 with a suction power of 3000 and remote be better than mi and milagrow?
Could u please compare and guide me mam?
Hi Keerthega, I'm planning to review the McTuring soon. I'll keep you posted.
N also if I connect with 2 phones using hotspot as u showed in this video, both the phones has to be near by the Robot? Or one with the app can be out of the house??? Plz help me with dat..
Hi Kallika, one with app can be out. The phone with the hotspot acts as a wifi router for the robot.
Hello, my phone cannot find the robot vacuum device and keeps telling me to connect with it manually. But the thing is I can't connect it with the vacuum robot while i am connected to the phone with the 4G access
Great tip but I am wondering why would this be necessary at all like in what situations would connecting to a hotspot be necessary instead of the wifi
Hi! I was curious too, but apparently lot of folks don’t have wifi in their house but still look for using this.
rural areas don't have internet
A80 pro ilife is it good to be considered for sweeping and mopping in home without WiFi
This amzn.to/3F4WfTW is definitely good. Also useful for using with remote.
Super helpful video, as Mi Home alerted me that it could only recognise Wi-fi names with strictly alpha-numeric characters, and I am unable to eliminate a special character from my Wi-fi name. At last I was able to connect the robot vacuum to Xi Home. Now, however, Mi Home repeatedly prompts me to update firmware on the device, and cancelling the popup takes me out of the device so I cannot operate it. I would update the firmware, but it is unable to do so when the robot vacuum is too low on battery. Sigh.
Hi chankirtan! Eeks sorry to hear that.
I am not able to find my device which is MI robot vacuum mop 2 lite in the app...what should I do?
What to do if I couldn't find my device's model from the app list?
We can do with same phone for app and hotspot by sharing the device which have the app
Is it?! Can you explain how? I wasn’t able to do it and when I researched a bit, many ppl were struggling with that too.
@@TheGrapevineIndia You can go to the profile and share the device with the one that has a hotspot by entering the mobile number or the profile ID
@@TheGrapevineIndia Does this work for you?
Hmm not yet - I can go to the profile in what? MI App?
@@TheGrapevineIndia Yes Mi Home app
Which robot vaccum has both remote and app control?? In price range of below 25k?? My wife's pregnant I really need to buy one but I don't have a wifi connection in home
Hi Partha, you can consider the McTuring S9 which has remote and app OR this one amzn.to/3DgV9BF. I recommend one with mapping as cleaning performance is good. Also you can use this amzn.to/3BltjUq with the mobile hotspot technique I explain in this video.
Hi there, I have just purchased realme robot vacuum cleaner..n wanted to know if I need a wifi router on my house..
Hi Kallika, yes if you need the smart features 😊
Hi, Can I connect this Vacuum Cleaner to a WIFI router without having Internet?
Hi, no it does need internet.
Hello, Is an alternative mobile needed for initial setup alone? (ie.) On successful activation the other hotspot connection used for initial setup is not necessary??
Hi Bhagavath, it is necessary as the internet connectivity later also.
@@TheGrapevineIndia
Thanks, You are doing great in giving reviews and replying to comments. Just purchased Ilife B5 max robot vacuum cleaner on seeing your review. It helped a lot and working as reviewed.
Great to hear!
@@TheGrapevineIndia my mom has got Mi robot and they stay in a town where no wifi.. I have installed MI home app n set the maps in her phone.. the robot works only with hotspot enabled is it.. ?can it use the same mobile data..?Without hotspot also it cleans fine and at times it does clean same place twice..How do i proceed.Pls guide..Do i need to switch off robot and main pwr for dock wen we dont use it.. Appreciate your help in this regard.Love your channel. Great info.. Thank you
Mecturing laseron s9 works with remote without wifi
Hi Jeevitha! Yeah remote would be really helpful! But the maps and other app functionality won’t work I’m guessing if you use the remote?
Hey there, is there anyway I can connect my Mi Robot Vacuum Mop 2 lite using a MAC address?
Hmm never tried that
You tell us that to connect with mobile which gives wifi and another mobile which has app I had change name on bluetooth and turn 2.4GHZ but I didn't connect with app because it shows me the Wi-Fi has no connection of internet what can I do now I don't have a Wi-Fi connection at my home and another phone's hotspot is on
Hi, you can use the phone which has hotspot on to connect. If you follow the steps as is - you will be able to connect.
Hi mam, how to purchase viomi se spares?
Hi Abhilash S! I believe I already responded.
Hi
I have few questions on Viomi v3 vs viomi alpha s9
1. Even though viomi alpha s9 has auto dirt disposal, I need to replace the dust bag monthly once. And each bag costs 500 rupees in India. So spending that additional cost is really useful?
2. Is it possible to dump out the dust collected and reuse the same dust bag ?
3. Does both viomi v3 and s9 does sweeping and mopping at the same time simultaneously? Or we need to run it 2 times separately?
As in once sweeping is done we need to clean the dustbin/self dirt disposal and fill it with water and again do a 2nd run for mopping?
4. Are there any other points to consider between viomi v3 and s9 apart from the auto dirt disposal? Im not sure ehich one to go for.
Please guide me dear! This household chores is getting too tough for me ! 😞
So if i am going out for a month, i have to leave wifi on ???
Theres no offline way to make it keep cleaning every day or week
Hi Akshay, no can set schedule it for a particular time. No wifi reqd after that.
I bought realme robot vacuum, and having trouble connecting device to my wi fi. Can u pls help me with it.. im on the verge of returning the product
Hi sandeep pawar! What is the problem you see?
@@TheGrapevineIndia thanks for d reply mam, it keeps getting disconnected . I logged in realme link app, clicked on add device, followed the instructions as it guides. App starts to pair device but wi fi connection gets lost. Iv tried restarting my vacuum and phone.. same issue. I tried it on iphone and android both.
One mobile connection is possible now
I am connecting with my vaccum in realme gt master
Hi i have realme robo vaccum cleaner. It was working fine but now all of a sudden it is not connecting to wifi.... I tried all the possible ways..... Can u please help me with this
Same here 😕
Hi Krishna Chaitanya and Sindhu Jeev! I have not tried the realme robot. Will see if I can find a solution.
@@TheGrapevineIndia Hey,
I just found out a way. Hold the home button for 3 seconds. We will recive a note about factory reset. Then continue with your original process of connecting to Wi-Fi. It works..
2:58 and thats the problem
😁
😁😊
i followed all the steps. but still i get msg " connection timed out" i connected with 2.4 ghz network only. please help me out.
if you want i can send you whole video of process. plz try to help me out. i am exhausted with this process now
Hi Agate Hub! Apologies, I'm not able to debug that offline.
Ridiculously complicated! Still offline, sometimes it connects and sometimes she’s just not in the mood
What if I have only one phone
Hi Vaiava Ravatua! It's not possible with just one phone if you need to use hotspot.
These things don't work without WiFi?
Hi Praveen, you do get a few models with remote. But if you need the ‘smart’ functionality of these - needs wifi or connect using hotspot as I showed here 😊
Hey pravin... I am using this robot vaccum without any wifi or hotspot since almost 4 months now... It works without any wifi or hotspot... But then... You can only start and stop the device using the buttons on the robot.... Once it starts... It will clean all your house and go back to it's charging station once it's done... Since I can't use any smart features... I have to close all my exit doors as well as washroom doors while the robot is cleaning.... Also... If i have to clean only one room sometimes.... I start the robot in that room and close the door... But... The robot gets confused a lot.... And rather than moving around the room... It just tries to get out of the door.... And gets stuck near the door....
So... In conclusion... If u don't have wifi or hotspot... U can use the robot for the whole house cleaning... Keeping all the doors closed...
What is this that I need two phones???
Hi cardoping! only if you want to tether to use wifi.
@@TheGrapevineIndia Mam, when once the robot setup is done with the app, is it necessary to connect the device with wifi hotspot every time that when I want to clean and mop the floor? Or what else.... I am confused...mam pls clarify me
