The Wi‑Fi connection from the Ford EV charger to the home network is unstable or fails frequently, making remote control via FordPass unreliable.

Possible Causes
Charger installed at the edge of Wi‑Fi coverage, interference from walls or metal objects, faulty Wi‑Fi antenna connection, or an overloaded home router.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Network troubleshooting does not require power-off, but opening the charger does.
- 1. Check signal strength: Use a phone near the charger to see Wi‑Fi signal quality. If weak, consider moving the router or adding a Wi‑Fi extender.
- 2. Change Wi‑Fi channel: Log into your router and select a less congested channel to reduce interference.
- 3. Reseat antenna (power OFF): If the charger has an internal or external antenna connection, ensure it is firmly attached.
- 4. Reconnect to network: Forget and re-add the charger to your Wi‑Fi network via FordPass, ensuring correct password and 2.4 GHz compatibility if required.
- 5. Consider wired connection: If supported, use Ethernet for more reliable communication.
