# My Link Plus is not connecting to Apple HomeKit
## This article provides troubleshooting steps for resolving issues with the Lightwave Link Plus hub not connecting to Apple HomeKit. It includes network verification via the Discovery DNS-SD Browser app and guidance on contacting support to reset the HomeKit chip.

### 🔍 Step 1: Verify Network Compatibility
For a successful connection, both the **Link Plus** and your **iPhone** must be connected to the **same local network and subnetwork**.
#### ✅ How to Check:
1. Download the **Discovery - DNS-SD Browser** app:
[Download from App Store](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/discovery-dns-sd-browser/id305441017)
2. Open the app and look for your **Link Plus** in the list.
3. If it’s **not listed**, tap on **\_hap.\_tcp** to expand the HomeKit accessories.
- Your **Link Plus** should appear here if everything is set up correctly.
> ⚠️ If the Link is not visible in the Discovery app, check your router settings and ensure there are no guest networks or subnet restrictions separating your devices.
