How Do I Change My WiFi on My Wyze?
Wyze is a popular brand that offers a range of smart home devices, including cameras, doorbells, and plugs. If you need to change the WiFi connection on your Wyze device, whether it’s because you changed your router or want to connect it to a different network, here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
1. Launch the Wyze app: Open the Wyze app on your smartphone or tablet. Ensure that you are logged in to your Wyze account.
2. Access device settings: Tap on the device that you want to change the WiFi connection for. This will take you to the device settings page.
3. Tap on WiFi settings: Look for the WiFi settings option in the device settings page. It may be labeled as “WiFi” or “Network” depending on the Wyze device you are using.
4. Select your WiFi network: Tap on the WiFi network you want to connect your Wyze device to. If the network you want is not listed, tap on “Add Network” and manually enter the network name and password.
5. Enter the WiFi password: If the selected network is password-protected, enter the password when prompted. Double-check for any typos as WiFi passwords are case-sensitive.
6. Wait for connection: Once you have entered the correct password, the Wyze device will attempt to connect to the new WiFi network. Wait for a few seconds or minutes until the device establishes a connection.
7. Successful connection: Once your Wyze device successfully connects to the new WiFi network, you will see a confirmation message on the app screen. The device is now connected to the updated network.
