Connecting to the LED Hotspot - Connect to the strip's unique hotspot. It can be either of the three hotspot names: Geeni-XXXX, Merkury-XXXX or iHome-XXXX). Hit "Connect Now"
Connect to it and make sure that you are connected to the device's hotspot before proceeding to the next step. Ignore any message that says: No Internet Connection, Unsecured Connection, etc.
