My charger won’t connect to my wifi

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.

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

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.
