Possible Causes
Robot offline from Wi-Fi, App not linked to correct account, Router blocking robot traffic, Wi-Fi module partially failing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal access is required for network troubleshooting.
- 1. Check Wi-Fi indicator: Verify that the robot's Wi-Fi LED (if present) is lit and not blinking error codes.
- 2. Confirm network: Ensure your phone is on the same 2.4 GHz network used during robot setup.
- 3. Reboot devices: Restart the robot, your phone, and your router.
- 4. Re-add robot: Remove the robot from the iHome app and perform the Wi-Fi setup process again.
- 5. Firmware update: Once connected, check for firmware updates.
- 6. Hardware check (advanced): If the robot cannot connect at all, the Wi-Fi module or antenna may be faulty and require replacement.
