Wi-Fi

Built-in 2.4GHz Wi-Fi enables remote control without a hub, but a few reviewers saw intermittent connectivity or early firmware hiccups; power-saving modes can reduce Wi-Fi use to extend battery life.

Wi-Fi support is one of the most polarizing areas: built-in connectivity is convenient, but multiple reviews cite 2.4GHz-only setup complexity, mesh-network friction, or the lock going offline and breaking remote control.

Wi-Fi (via the Smart Module or bundled models) unlocks true remote control and broader ecosystem support, but it can add setup complexity, occasional disconnect messages, and noticeably worse battery life compared with Bluetooth-only operation.

Wi-Fi connectivity is delivered through the bridge (typically on 2.4GHz networks). Once connected, many reviewers find remote control dependable, but multiple accounts describe initial pairing friction or placement constraints that can affect stability.

There is no built-in Wi-Fi radio, so the lock itself cannot connect directly to a router. Remote control and broader integrations rely on an Apple Home hub and/or an Aqara Zigbee hub acting as the bridge.
