eufy RoboVac won't connect to Wi-Fi
DIRECT ANSWER
COMMON CAUSES · RANKED
Router serving only 5 GHz MOST COMMON
eufy's Wi-Fi guide is explicit — RoboVacs connect to 2.4 GHz networks and cannot join 5 GHz; combined-band routers need the 2.4 GHz band visible.
Robot not in pairing mode
Setup only works while the Wi-Fi light flashes slowly ("ready to connect"); hold the reset/Wi-Fi button until it does before retrying the app.
Wrong Wi-Fi password
The password is case-sensitive — eufy suggests tapping the eye icon in the app to double-check it before connecting.
Phone permissions or stale network state
eufy's checklist enables location for the eufy Clean app, restarts phone and router, and forgets the robot's own SSID from the phone's Wi-Fi list.
HOW TO FIX IT
Put the robot in pairing mode
Press and hold the reset/Wi-Fi button until the Wi-Fi light flashes slowly, then keep the robot and phone next to the router.
Join the phone to 2.4 GHz
Connect your phone to the 2.4 GHz network the robot will use and re-enter the password carefully — it is case-sensitive.
Grant the app its permissions
Enable location services for eufy Clean (required for Wi-Fi setup on modern phones) and retry adding the device.
Reset the network chain
Restart phone and router, forget the robot's own SSID from the phone's Wi-Fi list, reset the robot's Wi-Fi, and run setup again.
Read the light to confirm
Quick flashing means connecting; only a solid blue Wi-Fi light means connected. If it never goes solid, contact eufy support with your router model.
