Cant find network by that name

Cameras
1

Ok so I love these cameras so much I bought several more. Out of about 10 I have set up I cant get one to connect. When I get to the part where it starts to connect it just times out and says something like it cant find a network by that name.

I tried the factory reset thing several times and moving to another wifi network that also has Wyze cams on it but no joy.

I tried emailing Wyze about a week ago but although I got a confirmation email I didn’t get any support reply. I’m sure they are busy. But although its only a 25 dollar camera it still bugs me this one doesn’t work.

Anyone have any ideas?

First of all - pull the SD card if you have one

How far from the WiFi router are you? Try setup closer to it?

No sd card.

I’m pretty close and it worked for at least 6 other cameras

Check the online forums and/or documentation for your router. You may have reached, or come close to a maximum device connections limitation on your network.

I’m at 16 devices with a maximum of 100. So I don’t think that’s it.
Plus the others work fine when all connected at once.
But good thinking!
I sent a reply to my acknowledgment email so maybe after the long weekend they will get back to me.

Could it be a similar problem to this?

Yep it’s similar. I haven’t tried to flash it yet. Im gonna have to buy another sd card first. Hopefully that does it

I had the same problem. My router has 2 wireless networks, one 5G and one 2.4G. I had to go into my router settings through my browser and disable my 5G network in order to allow me to setup my camera.

I found that I had to enable my wifi direct in my wifi connection to enable the android phone to connect to the wyze cam v2. When I pressed the connect switch on the wyze cam the image showed up on the available devices. Ran the connection and the results was immediate. I took me two days of trying to find this solution.
