What is a Wi-Fi Gateway for and how do I pair with my locks?

PRISM+ Support teamUpdated 17 July 2026

Wi-Fi Gateway allows your PRISM+ Smart Lock to connect to the internet, enabling you to monitor and control your lock remotely through the mobile app.

Without a Wi-Fi Gateway, your lock can only communicate via Bluetooth when you are within close range.

By pairing your lock with a Wi-Fi Gateway, you can:

Lock or unlock your door remotely

Receive real-time lock activity notifications

Check lock status from anywhere

Manage access when you're away from home

Before You Begin

Please ensure:

  • Your smart lock has already been paired with the mobile app
  • Your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network
  • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
  • The Wi-Fi Gateway is plugged into a power source

Important

The Wi-Fi Gateway must be installed within a reasonable distance of the smart lock to maintain a stable connection.

 

How to Pair the Wi-Fi Gateway

Step 1: Open the App

  • Open the smart lock application and select your paired lock.

Step 2: Add a Gateway

  • Navigate to the gateway settings section and select: Add Gateway

Step 3: Put the Gateway into Pairing Mode

  • Plug in the Wi-Fi Gateway and follow the in-app instructions to begin pairing.
  • The indicator light on the gateway should begin flashing.

Step 4: Connect to Wi-Fi

  • Select your home Wi-Fi network and enter the Wi-Fi password.
  • Do note that Only 2.4GHz Wi-Fi networks are supported.

Step 5: Complete Setup

Once pairing is complete:

  • The gateway will appear in your app.
  • The lock will automatically connect through the gateway.
  • Remote access features will become available.

 

How Do I Know It Is Connected?

You should be able to:

  • View your lock status remotely
  • Receive lock notifications
  • Control your lock while away from home

If these functions are working, the gateway has been successfully connected.

 

Troubleshooting

The Gateway Cannot Be Found During Setup

Check that:

  • Bluetooth is enabled on your phone
  • The gateway is powered on
  • The gateway is close to the lock
  • Your phone is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network

Remote Functions Are Not Working

Try:

  1. Restarting the gateway
  2. Restarting the mobile app
  3. Checking your home Wi-Fi connection
  4. Moving the gateway closer to the lock

The Gateway Shows Offline

This usually indicates:

  • A Wi-Fi connection issue
  • Power interruption
  • The gateway is too far from the lock

Verify that both the Wi-Fi network and power supply are functioning normally.
