Pod Point
Intermittent Network Connectivity
Pod Point charger repeatedly disconnects from Wi‑Fi or mobile network, causing unreliable smart features

Possible Causes
Marginal Wi‑Fi signal strength, Interference from other wireless devices, Router power‑saving or band‑steering issues, Failing Wi‑Fi module in charger
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Note: Basic charging may still work; this mainly affects smart control and monitoring.
- Step 1 – Router placement: Move the router closer to the charger if possible, or reduce obstructions (walls, metal objects) between them.
- Step 2 – Wi‑Fi extender: Install a Wi‑Fi extender or mesh node near the charger to improve signal strength.
- Step 3 – Router settings: Disable aggressive power‑saving or band‑steering features that may drop IoT devices. Consider using a 2.4 GHz network with a simple SSID.
- Step 4 – Reconnect in app: Forget and re‑add the Wi‑Fi network in the Pod Point app, ensuring correct credentials.
- Step 5 – Hardware check: If dropouts persist despite strong signal, the internal Wi‑Fi module may be failing and require PCB replacement.
