You should connect to your Home Wi-Fi network and not the Bolt network. The bolt wifi will automatically connect. First go to the app and click on the bolt device. And then you will be shown a series of networks available to you. Click on your personal Wifi network and not the bolt wifi. Enter the password of your wifi network and you are good to go.
