This article applies to 4th Generation Tablo DVRs only. If you have a legacy Tablo, please see the article here.
If you wish to connect your Tablo to a hidden Wi-Fi network here's how to do so:
Before beginning, please ensure your Tablo is plugged in and that your iOS/Android phone or tablet is connected to the same network you wish to connect your Tablo to. The blue LED light on your Tablo should be pulsing.
Open the Tablo app on your phone or tablet. You may be prompted to log in. If you do not have a Tablo account, select I'M NEW TO TABLO to create your account. This is not the same as a legacy TV Guide Data or premium account. It is free and for registration purposes only.
If you already have a Tablo account, select I ALREADY HAVE A TABLO ACCOUNT.
After logging in, select CONNECT WITH WI-FI.
Select NEXT.
Wait for a prompt to appear asking you to join a temporary Wi-Fi network. Select CONNECT or JOIN.
When prompted to select your home Wi-Fi network, select JOIN OTHER NETWORK.
Enter the name and password for your hidden Wi-Fi network. Then select SUBMIT.
NOTE: Network names and passwords are case sensitive.
The Wi-Fi setup is now complete. You will be automatically taken to the next page when your Tablo is ready. If prompted, follow the directions on screen to complete your Tablo's first time setup.
