Belkin WeMo Switch with 6th Gen Time Capsule

Set up:

6th Generation Time Capsule

Belkin WeMo Switch ( Ver VA01 - F7C027uk)

iPhone 5s

iOS7

WeMo App version 1.2.1.6

Airport version 7.7.1

WPA2 Personal


Hi.

Anyone have a solution to getting the Belkin WeMo Swith working with my Apple network?


In short, the App finds the WeMo, and see's my Apple network. It prompts me to enter my password

when it says

"The WeMo App was unable to connect to 'MY WIFI NAME' - Please rty re-entering your password"

Of course, I know what my password is. I have other devices connected to it without issue.


I had the same problem on iOS 6, iPhone 5, and 4th Generation Time Capsule. So I reported to Belkin who sent out 2 replacement devices - same issue.


I have tried all 2.4Ghz channels to no avail.


RANT: Belkin Support is near on useless. No product specialist have been in touch Have 3 different case numbers! I have Tweeted and @BelkinCares have asked me to contact them directly.....again!


I really want these to work. Any help or advice to get them running will be greatly appreciated.


Glenn

It would seem that every WeMo device is picky in it's own way. There is no one way to set them all up. I've had a few that wouldn't find the network, then I made the network all small letters and they found it. Some found the network in all caps. Some with WPS/WPS Personal, some with just WPA. These devices are clearly not ready for consumer use but those of us who bought them are stuck with them. Hopefully, the software/firmware will continue to improv until they actually work as smoothly as Belkin would have you think they do. Until then, I am buying no more WeMo products.
