Let’s jump into the solutions if the problem is beyond your WiFi network!

Solution #1 Check WiFi Compatibility

The first step you need to take is to confirm whether your Eufy Robovac model is WiFi compatible.

Many Eufy robots are not WiFi compatible or do not work with AI features, such as Alexa and Google Assistant. 

The Eufy Robovac C-Series and above are all with WiFi connection support!

After selecting your robot model, you can also find this information on your Eufy Robovac delivery box and on the Eufy website.

If your robot is not WiFi compatible, then, unfortunately, you cannot use any smart features.

Tip: Locate your Eufy robot compatibility via the available user manual.

Solution #2 Connect Robot To WiFi (Correctly)

Sometimes the Eufy robots do not connect to WiFi because you have not set up the robot to the app in the correct way or did something wrong.

This is why it is very important to set up the Eufy Robotvac in the correct way to be able to connect to the WiFi.

Here is the correct way to connect the robot to WiFi in easy steps!

1. Install the Eufy Clean mobile app. 
2. Register your EufyHome account in the app. 
3. Now enable the Location Permission for the app.
4. On the robot, press and hold the Start button for 3 seconds.
5. Go back to the app, and tap on Add Device. 
6. Click on the Robotic Vacuums and select your robot model. 
7. The App will automatically configure the robot. 
8. Tap on the + button to connect the robot. 
9. You will see a blue flashing light on the WiFi Status of the Robovac. 
10. Choose your home (2.4GHz) network and enter the correct password details. 
11. Tap Next to continue.
12. Customize your robot name. 
13. Your Robot is now set up to the app and network.

Note: When your WiFi/internet disconnects or drops, your Eufy Robovac will, too.

Solution #3 Optimize The WiFi Network

In case you have already set up your Robovac to the app, and still, the robot can’t connect to WiFi, then we need to inspect your internet connection.

When it comes to connectivity issues, many factors play a major role. You’re good to go as long as your network connection is stable, according to Robovac vacuum requirements.

Here are some important things that help to stabilize the WiFi network:

1. Ensure that the internet subscription on WiFi is active. 
2. Use only a 2.4GHz frequency WiFi network to connect to the robot. 
3. Place your WiFi router in the centralized location of your home. 
4. Disconnect Bandwidth drainer devices from the WiFi.
5. Reboot or reset the router to refresh the network strength. 

To justify that the problem is not coming from your internet test, take the robot and your smartphone as close as possible to the router.

Then re-attempting to connect the robot to the WiFi; if the operation goes well, the issue is due to a distant WiFi connection.

Solution #4 Fully Charge The Robot

Low robot battery is a very common reason for a connectivity problem which most users ignore to inspect.

When the Eufy Robovac battery is low, it loses its internet connection and does not connect even if you retry to connect until the robot is fully charged.

Tip: Re-attempt to connect the Eufy Robovac to the WiFi when it’s fully charged.

Solution #5 Allow App Location Access!

Eufy Robovac requires Bluetooth and GPS access to configure the robot’s location and to connect the robot to the device network.

There may be a chance that in your mobile, any of the permission is disabled, that’s why Eufy Robovac not connecting to WiFi.
