Possible Causes

Weak Wi‑Fi signal at charging station, Antenna cable damaged or disconnected, Firmware bug affecting connectivity, Interference from nearby routers

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No special electrical hazard, but avoid opening sealed RF modules unless qualified.

  • Check signal strength: Stand near the charging station with your phone and verify Wi‑Fi signal quality. Move the router or station to improve coverage.
  • Reduce interference: Change your router's Wi‑Fi channel to avoid congestion. Keep the station away from large metal objects.
  • Restart network: Reboot your router and power cycle the mower and charging station.
  • Inspect antenna (if accessible): Ensure the Wi‑Fi antenna cable is connected to the mainboard and not pinched or broken.
  • Update firmware: Use the Ecovacs app to install any available firmware updates that address connectivity issues.

If E17 persists with good Wi‑Fi coverage, the mower's Wi‑Fi module or antenna may need replacement.
