Somewhere I have a Wyze device that is broadcasting a SSID with the following nomenclature: wzap44827847. I can’t figure out for the life of me what wyze device it is and they all seem to use a different naming scheme s I can’t even pin it to a certain group. Only reason I know for sure it is wise i…

It is the Chime Pro. It broadcasts an SSID starting with wzap for the Video Doorbell Pro to connect to. You can verify this by unplugging your Chime for the VDBPro and the wzap SSID will disappear. Plug it back in and it will reappear. There is not currently a setting you can select to hide the SSI…

omg @carverofchoice thank you. Spot on. I don’t recall ever seeing it before though. So it has always been there since I installed the Pro? weird. I changed my password this last week for my wifi ssid so had to go around to every device and def noticed it this time.

[image] Superdeleted: So it has always been there since I installed the Pro? I am not confident if it has always been broadcast visibly or not. I know it has been there for a few months as I noticed it a while back, but I did not pay attention to whether it was there from the day I activated …

I wasn’t worried about the security. It’s locked just as good as any router. It’s the interference I don’t want. All though minimal it’s showing up pretty strong in my wifi analyzer and with so many 2.4ghz devices fighting for signal every little bit helps. If it’s just for setup then it should be s…

This drives me insane as I’ve extremely OCD about my network environment, it’s been this way forever. Do we know if they ever mentioned anything about this SSID or if it’ll be changed?

I brought it up multiple times (such as in Fix it Friday, and elsewhere), but unfortunately there has never been any response.

I just found this thread after discovering a Wifi network called “wzap4294905870” in my house. What’s quite strange is that it’s in the 5-GHz band, not the 2.4-GHz band. Yes, I have a Wyze Video Doorbell Pro. But why would it be operating on the 5-GHz band (specifically, channel 153) rather than the…

Yep, the Chime pro runs on 5GHz, so you do need it to be somewhat close to the VDBPro To maintain a good signal. As for why, they haven’t officially made a statement about that, but we can guess. 2.4 GHz is definitely more common as you mentioned in your post, and for the most part that is actually…

Anybody know what Wyze device would broadcast this SSID?
