Check Wi-Fi, local network and VPN

Check the 2.4 GHz network, local network permissions, VPN and router settings before pairing a module.

Pairing requires the smartphone and module to communicate correctly on the local network.

In short: use a 2.4 GHz network, allow local network access, and temporarily disable the VPN.
