Rabbit R1 · Network & Internet

Connect the R1 to a Wi-Fi network

The R1 relies on Wi-Fi for most of its AI and Large Action Model features; some configurations also include an optional embedded data plan for connectivity away from Wi-Fi.

What you should know

  • Open the Wi-Fi setup screen from the device settings and use the scroll wheel to navigate the list of nearby networks.
  • Enter your Wi-Fi password using the touchscreen keyboard, then confirm to connect.
  • The R1 shows a connection status indicator once it's successfully joined the network.
  • If you switch routers or change your Wi-Fi password, reselect the network and re-enter the new password on the device.

Why it matters

Most R1 features — from voice requests to Large Action Model tasks — rely on a network connection to reach Rabbit's servers, so a solid Wi-Fi connection is foundational to the device working at all.

Best practices

  • Keep the R1 within normal Wi-Fi range of your router, especially during setup and software updates.
  • Reconnect to Wi-Fi promptly after a router or password change to avoid interruptions to voice and vision features.

Common problems and fixes

Network doesn't appear in the list
Confirm the network is broadcasting its name (SSID) and is in range, then refresh the Wi-Fi list.
Connects but requests time out
Check that other devices on the same network have working internet, then power-cycle the router if needed.

Tips and tricks

  • If you have both an embedded data plan and Wi-Fi available, Wi-Fi is generally the more consistent option for heavier use like extended voice sessions.

Frequently asked questions

Can the R1 remember more than one Wi-Fi network?

Yes — like most Wi-Fi devices it can store multiple saved networks and will reconnect automatically to whichever known network is in range.
