My friend set up a Knulli device last week. He followed the instructions, connected the cables, and powered it on. But then the WiFi wouldn’t work.

He tried restarting it, moving it closer to the router, and even changing the password. Still nothing. Later that night, I saw a Reddit post where someone else had the same problem — Knulli WiFi not connecting, no matter what they did.

That gave me an idea. I decided to look into it, check settings, test things on his router, and after trying a few fixes, it finally worked.

So if you’re stuck like he was, I made this simple guide to walk you through the same steps. You don’t need to be techy. Just follow one by one.

What Is Knulli WiFi Device?

Knulli WiFi Device

Knulli is a smart storage and cloud system you connect to over WiFi. You can use it to save files, access media, or stream from one device to another.

It connects to your home network, so there’s no need for extra wires. But when the WiFi doesn’t work, it can feel like the whole device is broken.

Good news? Most times, it’s a small setting or a simple mistake.

Common Causes Why Knulli WiFi Device Is Not Working

Here are the most common reasons:

  • WiFi cable is loose, or the router is unplugged
  • WiFi light is off or blinking red
  • Router only has 5GHz enabled — Knulli needs 2.4GHz
  • Wrong WiFi password entered
  • Security mode (like WPA3) is blocking the device
  • Knulli has WiFi turned off in its own settings
  • The router needs a restart
  • The firmware is too old
  • Too much interference nearby
  • You’re too far from the router

Let’s start with the basics and go step-by-step.

12 Simple Fixes for Knulli Wifi Device Not Working

I didn’t try everything at once. I started with the basics — just checking if things were plugged in and working. Then I moved step by step.

Some fixes were simple. Others took a little digging. But after a few tries, it finally worked.

Below are all the steps I followed. You can try them one by one. Most of them don’t take more than a few minutes.

1. Check the Power and Cables

Before anything else, check if your router and modem are plugged in properly.

Make sure:

  • The power cable isn’t loose
  • The lights are on and not flashing red
  • All Ethernet cables are secure

Sometimes, the issue isn’t the device — it’s just the router being half-connected.

2. Look at the WiFi Lights

WiFi routers usually have signal lights. Green means good, blinking means it’s connecting, and red usually means something’s wrong.

If the light is off or red:

  • The router might not be connected to the internet
  • The signal may be too weak
  • Or your ISP may be down

You can also check if the Knulli indicator light shows any error color.

3. Restart the Router

Still not working? Try restarting both the router and modem. This solves most small bugs.

  1. Unplug both the router and the modem from the wall
  2. Wait 15–20 seconds
  3. Plug them back in and wait 1–2 minutes
  4. Try connecting Knulli again

My friend’s device connected right after this simple reset.

4. Use the Right WiFi Band (2.4GHz)

Many Knulli devices only connect to 2.4GHz WiFi, not 5GHz.

If your router uses only 5GHz or has both combined, Knulli may not see it. Go to your router’s settings and check:

  • Is 2.4GHz turned on?
  • Are both bands (2.4 and 5GHz) named the same?

If so, split them and connect Knulli to the 2.4GHz one. That’s what worked in our case.

5. Switch Security Mode to WPA2

Some routers use WPA3 for better security, but Knulli may not support it.

Log in to your router dashboard and find the security settings. Change the encryption mode from WPA3 to WPA2 or WPA2-PSK.

Then save and try connecting again. If it works, you can keep it that way — it’s still safe.

6. Enable WiFi in Knulli Settings

Open the Knulli dashboard in a browser (you might need to plug it in via cable for this part).

Go to wireless or network settings. Make sure WiFi is turned on. If it’s disabled, it can’t connect no matter what the router is doing.

7. Connect to WiFi and Enter Password

From Knulli settings, choose your WiFi name from the list and enter the password carefully.

Double-check for mistakes — capital letters, numbers, symbols. One wrong letter is enough to block the connection.

My friend had an extra space at the end of the password. That alone stopped it from working.

8. Try the IP Address Instead of the Hostname

If you can’t reach Knulli using its default web address, try using the IP address.

You can find this in your router’s device list. Open a browser, type the IP, and press Enter.

That gave us access when the name wouldn’t work.

9. Use Hybrid Mode (If Available)

In Knulli advanced settings, there may be a switch called something like Hybrid Wireless Fix or Experimental Mode.

If your network uses both WPA2 and WPA3, turning this on may allow Knulli to connect. We did this and it made the device accept mixed networks.

10. Update Knulli Firmware

Go to Knulli settings and look for “System Update” or “Firmware Update.”

Old firmware can block WiFi support or cause bugs. Once we updated, the WiFi stayed stable without dropping.

11. Check for Interference

WiFi can be affected by nearby devices — Bluetooth speakers, microwaves, baby monitors.

If your Knulli is far from the router or surrounded by tech, move it closer or try a different room.

Once we moved the device, the signal got stronger and the problem disappeared.

12. Reset the Router (Only If Needed)

This is your last resort if nothing else works.

Steps:

  1. Look for a small hole labeled RESET on the router
  2. Use a paperclip to press and hold it for 10–15 seconds
  3. Let the router restart and set up WiFi again

Only do this if you’re okay setting up the network from scratch — it wipes your router’s custom settings.

When to Reach KnulliSupport?

If none of the steps help, it may be a device issue or a deeper problem in the settings.

You can:

  • Go to the official Knulli website
  • Open their support page
  • Use chat or send them an email
  • Check if your model is still under warranty

Support usually replies fast if you include your serial number and firmware version.

Tips to Avoid Knulli WiFi Issues in the Future

These helped us avoid future problems:

  • Keep your router and Knulli in open spaces
  • Don’t unplug often unless needed
  • Update firmware regularly
  • Restart the router every few days
  • Use WPA2 instead of WPA3
  • Check signal strength once in a while
  • Don’t put the router behind thick walls
  • Limit the number of devices using the same band

Small things like these make your WiFi much more stable.

Conclusion

WiFi issues can be frustrating, especially when the device seems brand new. But most of the time, it’s a simple fix — a setting, a restart, or just the wrong WiFi band.

Try each step one at a time. That’s how I fixed it for my friend — no fancy tools, no deep tech skills.
