steps are as follow:
1.use your cellphone or PC/iPad/laptop to surf the internet with your wifi,checking the internet is workable or not.
2.please close every Download tool to avoid occupying the bandwidth.
3.If there are more than one routers in your home and the routers' SSIDs are same, please change them to different SSID and connect your sonoff to a workable router.
4.If there are more than one routers in your home,please check the linking method between routers.
5.check if your PC/laptop is attached by ARP
6.please check the firewall is available for Sonoff
7.If you check every single option forementioned and the problem still does not solved,please reset the DNS Server address manually
8.please do not use other device to connect the WiFi when you pairing the Sonoff
by the way
could you please tell me which country do you live in
Thanks for your reply.
I live in Australia.
1. I have checked the wifi with a number of different devices and can confirm that there are no issues with accessing the internet.
2. I have closed (shut down) every other device on the network and only connect using Sonoff - still no success.
3. There is only one router with 2 SSIDs (one is for 2.4G and the other for 5G). I switched off all SSIDs and only left one new SSID for purpose of testing. My mobile and laptop connected to the internet fine using the new SSID, but sonoff still failing to add. I also took the device to my brothrs house and tested there to make sure it is noit my netwoprk - same issue occured there suing both his and my phone.
4. Only one router.
5. I am not sure how to do this (laptop attached by ARP). The laptop and every other device on my network connect fine and are visible under "Attached Devices" in my router. I can also see the Sonoff in "Attached Devices" which tells me its connecting fine to my router, but cant connect to the server.
6. Firewall is fully disabled for purposes of configuring this device. No success.
7. I have manually entered DNS details provided by my ISP in the router. Everything else still works/connects with no problem. Sonoff still cant connect to server.
8.I have disconnected WiFi from all other deviecs, including the device i am pairing from. Still same result - App shiows either "Device does not exist" or "Add failure" once i press nxt after entering the name.
I have made a video of the process if you would like to see.

I've got problem with my sonoff. When i pair it with my phone, it says " device belongs to other user".
Does anyone knows what's the problem ?
@Nermin Boja The device has been added already. Please ask if your family or friend has added it or submit a feedback on ewelink.
No they're not using it.
I bought it yesterday, so this is the first time it's used.
