WiFi app cannot find or connect to the smoker, though the smoker operates manually.

Safety first: No internal work is needed for basic connectivity checks; avoid hot surfaces.

• Check signal strength: Move the smoker closer to your WiFi router or use a WiFi extender to improve signal.
• Use 2.4 GHz network: Ensure your phone and smoker are connecting to a 2.4 GHz network if required by your Masterbuilt model.
• Reset WiFi module: Follow the manual to reset the WiFi on the smoker (often by holding a specific button until an indicator flashes).
• Reinstall app: Remove and reinstall the Masterbuilt app, then follow the setup wizard to add the smoker again.
• Module replacement: If all steps fail and other devices connect fine, the WiFi module may be defective and require replacement.
