Possible Causes

Weak Wi‑Fi signal at dock, Router channel congestion, Antenna connection loose, Wi‑Fi module aging

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the robot is on the dock and has adequate charge while troubleshooting connectivity.

  • 1. Improve signal: Move the dock closer to your router or install a Wi‑Fi extender near the dock location.
  • 2. Change router channel: Log into your router and switch to a less congested 2.4 GHz channel.
  • 3. Re-add robot to app: Remove the robot from the app and perform a Wi‑Fi reset, then add it again.
  • 4. Avoid 5 GHz-only networks: Ensure the SSID you connect to is 2.4 GHz compatible.
  • 5. If dropouts continue at close range: The internal Wi‑Fi antenna or module may be loose or failing and may require main board service.
