Notes
This operation should only be required only once. The device will automatically connect to the network you set. When the device is connected to WiFi, a green light will appear on the bottom of the device. 
If you want to take the device to another place - connect it to the local network there as well.
To avoid this issue recurring in the future please ensure the device is connected to WiFi at least once every 2-3 weeks. To verify that it is connected, simply turn on the device when it is within WiFi range, and check if there is a green light on the bottom. The green light means the device is connected to WiFi.
