Causes of Wyze Plug Not Connecting To Wifi
It’s important to know what could be stopping the Wyze Plug from connecting to Wi-Fi before we try to fix it. More than one of these things may be wrong. It will be a lot easier to fix if you know these.
- Problems with Your Wi-Fi Network: The health of your Wi-Fi network is very important right now. The Wyze Plug might not be able to make a stable connection if the link keeps breaking. Check to see if your Wi-Fi is stable first. To fix it, this is the most important thing you can do.
- How Near Your Wi-Fi Hotspot Is the Wyze Plug: One more thing to think about. If you put the device too far away, the signal might not be strong enough for a good connection. It works better most of the time when you move the device closer to the computer.
- Have Trouble Setting Up the App? It can take a long time to log in if there are problems with the Wyze app, which is where the Wyze Plug is set up. Things can go wrong with old versions of the app or bugs in the app itself. The Wyze app works best and is most useful when it is up to date.
- You might find that the problem with the link is also caused by how your computer is set up if you look a little further. If your network security or firewalls don’t let the Wyze Plug join, it might be hard for it to do so. This list of options might help you figure out what you need to change.
Solutions to Reconnect Your Wyze Plug
Now that you know what the problems are, let’s fix them and get your Wyze Plug and Wi-Fi network to connect again.
1. Make Sure Your Wi-Fi Network Is Stable: To fix this, first make sure your Wi-Fi network is stable. Check to see if other devices can join easily and that there aren’t any problems with the network right now. Often, all it takes to fix short-term problems and get the link back up and running is to restart your router.
2. You need to give some thought to where your Wyze Plug is if you want to change how close something is. If it’s too far away from your Wi-Fi router, move it closer. It will work better and be stronger. This change may not seem very important, but it can have a big effect on how well the device can connect and stay connected.
3. Update the Wyze app. The Wyze app lets you handle your Wyze Plug, so it’s important to keep it up to date. If your phone’s app store has any changes, you should install them. An old version of the app could be the reason you can’t join.
4. Set up the Wyze Plug once more. Open the Wyze app and go to the device settings for your Wyze Plug. Then, try to set it up again. The plug has to be taken out and then put back in. What this process does is clear out the connection settings and fix any problems that may have come up.
5. Look at what the computer can do. One of the most important things you can do to fix it is this. Check the settings to see if they can change how devices join. Also, make sure that the Wyze Plug can connect to the WPA or WPA2 security settings on your computer. Make sure that any security settings that are too strict are also turned off.
6. Finally, turn the Wyze Plug back on. To reset the Wyze Plug, all you have to do is restart it. Wait ten seconds, then put the plug back in. Often, this process fixes things for a short time and then starts them up again.
7. If nothing else works, restart the phone from the original settings. This is the last thing that should be done if nothing else works. For the Wyze Plug to work, you have to hold down the reset button for a certain amount of time. Keep in mind that this will remove all of your options, so be careful when you do it.
