What it means
In the official Comelit Group Pair your Video Entry Device guide for Mini Wi-Fi (6741W), Mini ViP Wi-Fi (6742W), and Maxi ViP Wi-Fi (6842W) monitors, two distinct non-connected states are documented when pairing with the Comelit App: The Wi-Fi connection for your door entry monitor is off (requiring you to open the Wi-Fi Setup menu via the Wi-Fi off icon and select Enable Wi-Fi) and Your door entry monitor does not have a connection (meaning Wi-Fi reception is enabled on the monitor, but there is no connection to the router). Other Comelit intercom units can differ, and a Wi-Fi off or no-connection icon by itself never proves that the monitor hardware has failed.
