Possible Causes

Weak WiFi signal, Interference from other devices, Router power-saving settings, Aging WiFi module on control board

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not require opening the grill; unplug before removing the controller.

  • Improve signal: Move the router closer, use a WiFi extender, or reposition the grill to reduce obstructions.
  • Use 2.4 GHz network: Ensure the grill is connected to a 2.4 GHz SSID, which has better range than 5 GHz.
  • Disable router power-saving: Turn off aggressive power-saving or band-steering features that may drop IoT devices.
  • Firmware update: Update the GMG app and controller firmware to the latest versions.
  • Replace controller if needed: If WiFi remains unstable and other devices work fine on the same network, the controller's WiFi module may be failing and require replacement.
