Why Won’t My Roomba Connect to WiFi? Common Issues and Fixes

 


Although it might be annoying when a Roomba not connecting to WiFi this problem can usually be resolved by resolving typical issues.

  • The Wi-Fi network's compatibility is one possible reason.
  • Make sure your router has a specific 2.4 GHz network enabled if it is configured to 5 GHz or dual-band as the majority of Roomba models only support 2.4 GHz networks.
  • Another problem is signal strength; the Roomba may have trouble connecting if it is too distant from the network or if there are physical obstacles like walls or other objects interfering with its signal.
  • To make sure there is enough coverage use a smartphone to check the Wi-Fi signal strength close to the docking station.
  • Verify that the password is accurate since incorrect network credentials including a wrongly inputted password might potentially be the cause.
  • Additionally make sure the firmware on your Roomba is current since out-of-date software might occasionally result in connectivity issues.
  •  For updates use the iRobot Home app.
  •  Additionally restarting your devices—including your network modem and Roomba—can be beneficial.
  • Follow the instructions in the user handbook to reset the Roomba's Wi-Fi settings if the problem continues.
  • Usually this entails holding down particular buttons to change the network setup.
  • Lastly, make sure the Roomba supports the security protocol of your network because older versions might not be able to use complex settings like WPA3.
  • If everything else fails, seek specialized help from our specialists.
  • Your Roomba's Wi-Fi connectivity problems may frequently be fixed by methodically addressing these elements.
