3. Check your Internet Connection

Make sure that you have an active internet connection. Internet may be improper or disconnected due to many reasons.

• You may not have an active Internet subscription and it has been outdated which you can renew and then try connecting your device with the router.
• Your wi-fi router may be placed from a distance from your Eufy device which is causing improper and unstable connection. Try to place your router in the middle of your home.
• Your router needs to be reset. Sometimes, there are unknown reasons causing connection problems which are corrected by just restarting or resetting your router.

4. Check Robot battery

There are 2AA Batteries included in the Eufy RoboVac and they are lithium-ion cells. It has a battery life of 100 minutes and it takes almost 6 hours to charge fully.

Before using the device, make sure that you have fully charged the battery. Because the lower charging reduces its operational ability and also impairs its performance. The low battery may also disconnect the wi-fi connection to save the remaining battery.

Make sure that you have disabled Reduced Power Standby mode on your Robot vacuum. Some people turn on this option to charge the battery quickly but it disables the wi-fi network.

5. Network name and password are incorrect

If there are multiple wi-fi extenders, make sure that you have accurately entered the name of the wi-fi network and password. This step is included in the first setup of your device in Eufy’s Home app where you have to put the credentials of your network.

In case of a network extender in your Wi-Fi setup, ensure that the extender’s network name (SSID) and password are also the same as your primary network.

6. Too many devices are connected to same WiFi network

Eufy Robot vacuums need a strong internet connection which is required to operate different functionalities. If there are too many devices on your router, its bandwidth is distributed among all devices or there may be some high bandwidth consumption like 4K Videos or Live streaming which may lower the signal strength and ultimately it causes unstable or poor Internet connection for your RoboVac.

Make sure that there are not too many devices being attached at the same time or you may increase your bandwidth to streamline the process.

7. Your Phone is not connected to 2.4GHz

Eufy’s devices only work on 2.4GHz and they cannot connect to 5GHz frequency which people think will help in faster downloading but it has a short-range disadvantage. This step is included in the very first set of your device with the Eufy’s Home app. Make sure that you set default your network to 2.4GHz as 5GHz is not supported by Eufy and other smart assistant devices.

8. Check your Firmware

There are many issues that arise only due to outdated firmware. Make sure that you update your Eufy’s RoboVac timely as the update is released by the company. Because wi-fi no connecting may be due to the outdated firmware. Please follow the steps mentioned below in order to update the firmware.

• First of all, You have to put your RoboVac back on and turn on its power.
• Press the power button for about 10-15 seconds until you hear a beep from the device.
