Grid connect switch not picking up local wifi IP

Grid connect switch not picking up local wifi IP

I have a Deta inline switch. I use my phone to pair with the device, but instead of picking up a local wifi IP address, it picks up my external IP address. As the device is behind the modem and router it means I cannot connect to it via wifi.

 

i have many Deta devices. When i paired them they pick up a local wifi address, like 192.168.0.xxx. With this device it picks up the IP address that I login to when I am away from home.

 

How can I fix this or is the device faulty? AS I said, I have 8 other deta grid connect devices and none have done this before.
