Possible Causes

Weak Wi‑Fi signal at charger location, Interference from other devices, Outdated firmware on GM network module, Faulty internal antenna connection

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Steps:

  • Improve signal: Move your Wi‑Fi router closer to the charger or install a Wi‑Fi extender near the garage.
  • Change channel: Log into your router and select a less congested 2.4 GHz channel.
  • Re‑pair device: Remove the charger from the GM app and add it again, following the pairing instructions.
  • Firmware update: When connectivity is stable, check for and apply any GM firmware updates.

If the charger frequently drops off the network even with strong signal and other devices are stable, the internal Wi‑Fi module or antenna may be defective and require replacement.
