Possible Causes

Weak WiFi signal at grill location, Incorrect network password, 5 GHz-only router (no 2.4 GHz), Faulty WiFi module on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not require opening the grill; do not disassemble live electronics.

  • Check signal strength: Move your phone to the grill location and verify strong WiFi signal.
  • Use 2.4 GHz: Ensure your router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz network; many IoT devices do not support 5 GHz only.
  • Re-pair device: Follow the Camp Chef app instructions to forget and re-add the grill, entering the correct WiFi password.
  • Power cycle: Turn the grill OFF, unplug for 1 minute, then power back on and retry pairing.
  • Controller replacement: If WiFi remains nonfunctional while all other grill functions work, the WiFi module or controller may need replacement.
