For full functionality, download the iRobot Home app from your device's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to connect your Roomba 966 to your home Wi-Fi network. During setup, ensure your mobile device is connected to a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, as the Roomba 966 primarily operates on this frequency. If you encounter issues, temporarily disabling the 5GHz band on your router may help with initial connection.
