Cat water fountains · Choose by your needs
If the fountain itself must support both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, PETLIBRO Dockstream 2 and PETKIT EverSweet Ultra document dual-band connections. The PETLIBRO cordless version can run on battery and has one-pet records; the plug-in Ultra offers camera profiles. Verify network setup, app features and any service requirement before installation.

| Model | Exact model | Confirmed bands and operating plan | Important limit |
|---|---|---|---|
| PETLIBRO Dockstream 2 Smart Cordless Fountain PLWF116 / 6236116 | Dockstream 2 Smart Cordless PLWF116 | 2.4 + 5 GHz; battery or adapter | One-pet app records; runtime claim is sensor-mode and single-pet only. |
| PETKIT EverSweet Ultra EverSweet Ultra P4117 | PETKIT EverSweet Ultra P4117 | 2.4 + 5 GHz; supplied 12 V adapter | Camera profiles support up to 15 pets; full video features have a Care+ condition. |
Choose it when: The exact PLWF116 U.S. manual names both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, and its product page documents the rechargeable operating plan.
The limit: Up to 30 days is a conditional maker claim for one pet in sensor mode, not continuous-flow runtime. Multi-cat individual identification is not established.
Choose it when: The exact P4117 current U.S. page identifies direct dual-band Wi-Fi and the maker-supported camera-profile workflow.
The limit: It is a plug-in system and first-use app activation is required. Fifteen is a profile limit, not a promise of camera-identification accuracy; full video playback/highlights are subject to PETKIT Care+.
This answer requires the fountain's own specification to confirm 2.4 and 5 GHz. A router that broadcasts both bands does not establish compatibility for a device that supports only one. Follow the exact app pairing sequence and verify any network settings before filling the unit.
Each configuration meeting the dual-band condition also documents app control, so selecting both requirements preserves the same result group. Wi-Fi does not imply drinking records or individual pet identification, and this answer does not require battery operation. The complete matching product list remains available below; featured models show different app and placement workflows.
No. Dual-band requires both 2.4 and 5 GHz support. A single-band model belongs in the direct-2.4-GHz answer, not this one.
No. Bluetooth and direct Wi-Fi are different radios. Check the exact model's supported band instead of inferring from an app or a compatible PETKIT master.
No. The maker claim is conditional on a full charge, one pet and sensor mode; it is not a universal battery-life guarantee.
