Problem
Your Wyze Cam v3 is having trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi network. It's timing out during setup.
Troubleshooting
- Check that your phone or tablet is on a 2.4 GHz network.
- On iOS: In the Settings app, tap Wi-Fi to see your network name.
- On Android: In the Settings app, tap Wireless & networks or Connections to see your network name.
- Depending on your device, these options may be different.
- If you only see one network that belongs to you, it should be a 2.4 GHz network.
- If you see two or more networks that belong to you, select the one that does not include the following: 5, 5G, 5GHz, 5g. If it has "5" in the name, do not connect to it.
- Forget all WiFi networks, restart your phone/tablet, then reconnect to your 2.4 GHz network.
- On iOS: In the Settings app, tap General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
- On Android: In the Settings app, tap General management or System, tap Reset or Reset Options > Reset Network Settings. Confirm the reset.
- Power cycle your Wyze Cam.
- Unplug your camera from the power outlet, wait 5-10 seconds, then plug it back into power.
- Force close the Wyze app, then open it again.
