    My charger won’t connect to my wifi

    2 min read

    If your charger isn’t connecting to Wi-Fi, it won’t be able to access smart features, firmware updates, or remote support.

    In order to change/update any Wi-Fi settings you will need to be within Bluetooth range (approximately 5 metres) and connected to the charger.

    If your charger keeps dropping out of wifi or not connecting, try resetting the wifi connection by following the below steps

    Follow the handy WiFi Setup Guide

    ‍

    Use the steps below to identify and fix the issue.

    Possible Causes

    • Incorrect Wi-Fi password or network name - check if the network has symbols such as " ' or () ect in the SSID
    • Weak Wi-Fi signal at the charger’s location
    • Security Settings on your network
    • Incompatible router settings (e.g. using only 5 GHz)
    • Charger or router needs restarting

    How to Fix It

    1. Check Network Compatibility
      • The charger supports 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi only
      • If your router uses 5 GHz or mixed mode, ensure 2.4 GHz is enabled
    2. Double-Check the Password
      • Passwords are case-sensitive — confirm special characters, spaces, or capital letters
      • This can also be copied/pasted directly from the settings app on your device.
    3. Improve the Signal
      • Move the router closer, use a Wi-Fi booster, or consider mesh Wi-Fi
    4. Restart Devices
      • Power off your router and charger
      • Wait 30 seconds, then power them back on
      • Retry connecting via the Simpson & Partners app
    5. Use Manual Setup
      • In the app, choose “Set Wi-Fi Manually”
      • Enter your network name (SSID) and password manually
    6. Re connect the charger with your wifi network following the below video

    Summary

    Ensure your charger is within range of a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network, your password is correct and the signal strength is good.
