Possible Causes

Weak Wi-Fi signal at grill location, Incorrect network credentials, Wi-Fi module firmware issue, Failed Wi-Fi module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not require opening the grill; do not open electrical enclosures while powered unless qualified.

  • Check signal strength: Use a phone near the grill to verify strong Wi-Fi signal. Move the router or grill if signal is weak.
  • Verify credentials: Re-enter Wi-Fi network name and password in the app, ensuring they match exactly.
  • Reset Wi-Fi module: Follow Yoder's instructions to reset the Wi-Fi module and re-pair with the app.
  • Firmware update: Update the app and grill firmware if updates are available.
  • Module replacement: If the grill will not connect after resets and firmware updates, the Wi-Fi module may need replacement.
