  • QuestionDoes anyone else hear a high-pitched buzzing sound coming from their Geeni smart plug when it is plugged in and turned on?

    Asked by Daniel.

    • Answer Yes. The pitch changes depending on whether it's on or off, but in both cases it is easily heard from 5-10 feet away. Very annoying.

  • QuestionIs it 5G compatible?

    Asked by Tna.

    • Answer Hi! All Geeni devices are designed to work for 2.4 GHz for a wider range, unlike the 5 GHz that cannot penetrate walls and floor. If your WiFi is set to 5 GHz, you can actually change it to 2.4 GHz by accessing your Graphic User Interface (GUI). If you don't know how to access your GUI, we're advising you to contact your Internet Service Provider and request to change it for you. Since most routers nowadays are dual-band (a combination of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz), your Service Provider will separate the 2.4 GHz to 5.GHz for them to have different SSID.

  • QuestionCan I plug in an extension cord to this and connect it to multiple lamps and chargers? Can it handle that much power?

    Asked by Sarab.

    • Answer Yes. But be mindful of the amount of power consumed by all of your connected devices. Several lights or small devices will be fine. An air conditioner or other big power device would probably cause problems. Keep in mind that all of the devices you plug into the extension or strip connected to the Spot will come on at the same time, they cannot be individually controlled.
