If your Wyze cam cannot connect to the local network, you need to check some basic things related to the setup, distance, and frequency. Let’s talk about them…<\/p>\n

\"Wyze<\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn’t matter if you have the Wyze Cam V1, V2, or Pan.<\/p>\n

The error you usually see is “cannot connect to local network<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

People are also looking for information based on the messages they get from the camera, so if you have some problem related to Wyze cam connection failed or Wyze cam not connecting this article can help you out.<\/p>\n

The Wyze Cam connection problems<\/h2>\n

Usually, the Wyze Cam connection problems are associated with:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Network frequency (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz)<\/li>\n
  2.  Router SSID configuration<\/li>\n
  3. Wrong Wi-Fi password<\/li>\n
  4. Router MAC address filtering<\/li>\n
  5. Wi-Fi Encryption<\/li>\n
  6. Incompatible router<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Let’s discuss in detail all of them.<\/p>\n

    Network frequency (2.4 GHz vs 5 GHz)<\/h2>\n

    The Wyze Cam works with the 2.4 GHz frequency which means your router must have such a frequency available to the camera be able to connect.<\/p>\n

    Most of the time the Wyze cam connection failed problem is related to this.<\/p>\n

    Nowadays most of the Wi-Fi routers work with more than one frequency and can either have the 2.4 GHz and the 5 GHz so it’s necessary to check that.<\/p>\n

    Don’t worry, you can use both of them at the same time and you just need to make sure you didn’t disable the 2.4 GHz that your camera is looking for.<\/p>\n

    Check the router frequency<\/h3>\n

    You can set up your router to use the 2.4 GHz<\/strong>, 5 GHz, <\/strong>or both.<\/p>\n

    If your router doesn’t clearly show the frequency you can use the letter that represents them. Let’s see how this thing works…<\/p>\n

    As you can see in the picture below my router is an old model that shows the “Network Mode” as “Wireless B\/G Only, B Only, G Only, N Only and disabled<\/em><\/strong>“.<\/p>\n

    \"Router<\/span><\/p>\n

    All those names represent the 2.4 GHz frequency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

    In this case, there’s NO “Wireless A<\/em>” which represents the 5 GHz frequency.<\/p>\n

    So my router Does NOT have the 5 GHz frequency available.<\/p>\n

    Those letters come from the international standard 802.11 a\/b\/c\/g\/n.<\/p>\n

    Here’s the list for the possible options you may found on your router:<\/p>\n
