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
- 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
- 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.
- Improve the Signal
- Move the router closer, use a Wi-Fi booster, or consider mesh Wi-Fi
- Restart Devices
- Power off your router and charger
- Wait 30 seconds, then power them back on
- Retry connecting via the Simpson & Partners app
- 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.
If the issue persists, contact your internet provider/wifi forums for more support.
