BlueLink Model 7300 Thermostat

Can I connect my thermostat to a dual band router?

Yes, however you must connect to the 2.4 GHz band and not the 5 GHz band. Additionally, these two bands must have different network names and network passwords. If you are using the same name and/or password for both bands you may experience connection problems with your thermostat.

Can I connect to a hidden network (SSID)?

Yes, but you must unhide the SSID during the thermostat registration process. Once registration is complete, you can once again hide the SSID using your routers network configuration tools.

Does this thermostat require a 24VAC Common "C" wire?

A 24VAC common "C" wire is required if using Wi-Fi.  The common "C" wire is also known as the 5th wire in most standard applications.  If there are not enough wires coming out of the wall at the thermostat, you can install the Share-a-Wire module at the equipment, which will allow a common connection using a standard 4-wire installation.
