Possible Causes

Wi‑Fi module failure on main PCB, Antenna cable disconnected, Firmware corruption, Router incompatibility or signal issues

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: This is a low‑risk electronic fault; no special safety beyond normal electrical precautions.

  • Reboot robot and router: Power cycle the robot and your Wi‑Fi router. Wait until the router is fully online before reconnecting.
  • Reset network settings: Use the robot’s buttons or the app to reset Wi‑Fi settings (refer to the user manual). Re‑add the robot in the Samsung SmartThings or robot vacuum app.
  • Check Wi‑Fi band: Ensure your router is broadcasting a 2.4 GHz network, as many Samsung robot vacuums do not support 5 GHz for pairing.
  • If C12 persists without network issues: The Wi‑Fi module or antenna on the main PCB may be faulty, requiring board replacement by a service center.
