EPOS® installations via Husqvarna Cloud

• Wi-Fi-only mowers: Require continuous Wi-Fi coverage across the entire work area to receive satellite correction data for navigation. Without Wi-Fi, these mowers cannot operate. Models equipped with AI vision technology switch to camera-guided navigation, continuing for up to 50 metres before stopping if Wi-Fi signal is not recovered.
• Mowers with Wi-Fi + mobile: Can switch to mobile network if Wi-Fi is unavailable, ensuring continuous operation.

EPOS® installations with reference station

• Wi-Fi is not required for mowing or navigation
• Wi-Fi enables remote control via the app when mower is within range

Boundary wire installations

• Wi-Fi is not required for mowing or navigation
• Wi-Fi enables remote control via the app when mower is within range

Network requirements

• Frequency band: 2.4 GHz only. 5 GHz networks are not supported. Most modern routers broadcast both frequencies, but in some cases 2.4 GHz needs to be activated separately in the router settings.
• Network visibility: SSID must be visible (not hidden)
• Signal strength: Strong Wi-Fi signal at the charging station (Wi-Fi-only models)
• Coverage area: For EPOS® via Husqvarna Cloud, full lawn coverage (Wi-Fi-only models)

Before you start

• Pair your mower with your mobile device using Bluetooth
• Install Automower® Connect app and login
• Have Wi-Fi password ready
• Place the mower near the router during setup

1. Open the Automower® Connect app and log in.
2. Position the mower close to the router.
3. Navigate to: More > Settings > Automower® Connect
4. Enter your PIN code.
5. Under Wi-Fi, tap Select network
6. Choose your network and enter password
7. Tap Connect and wait for confirmation.

If your Wi-Fi network does not appear when trying to connect Automower® to the app, try the following steps in order:

1. Restart your robotic lawn mower
2. Restart the Automower® Connect app. iOS | Android
3. Make sure that you are using the latest version of the Automower® Connect app. App Store | Google Play
4. Make sure that your robotic lawn mower has the latest firmware installed.
5. Try moving your robotic lawn mower closer to the router and attempt to connect again.
6. Verify that the 2.4 GHz frequency is activated on your router. This setting is found in your router’s configuration interface. If you are unsure how to do this, refer to the operator’s manual for your router or contact your internet service provider for assistance.
