If I have 30 bulbs and/or cameras and I changed my SSID, how do I update them all? Connecting one bulb is a pain by itself, I cannot imagine doing this step 30 times for 30 devices. I thought there was a software update that does this? I cannot find it, ---

Sorry to have to tell you, but you have to set them up again one by one. šŸ˜¢ ---

Yes, that was a painful day. Seeing the timeout timer drop to zero on several devices invokes rage. ---

Iā€™m looking at the same situation. Have a mesh router currently broadcasting 2.4&5.0 as separate SSID. Keep getting ā€˜suggestionsā€™ from it to combine into 1 SSID to improve performance. Any suggestions?? ---

Technically, this will not improve Wyze performance because Wyze only connects to 2.4Ghz. This could see improvement on your overall network though, because it keeps things simpler. As to a suggestion on changing SSID, like the previous poster mentioned, looks like we are currently out of luck. Have fun hearing ā€œWyze Cam is ready to connectā€, Wyze bulb asking you to ad-hoc to it, and entering SSID and password for each device over and over again. _(I had to change my SSID because I added a device (switchbot) that cannot ā€œseeā€ the SSID I have set due to a semicolon.)_ ---

Iā€™m sorry you had to go through that. Glad I havenā€™t had to yet. I should have mentioned before: thereā€™s a #wishlist topic on this: [Change WiFi Network Name (SSID) and password without device reset](https://forums.wyze.com/t/change-wifi-network-name-ssid-without-resetting-camera/30296) Wonā€™t help you retroactively, but you may want to hop over there and vote for it.

Every internet connected device in my home has this same problem. And some canā€™t handle Unicode characters. Some day, that is going to bite me because the SSID at my home is IomprĆ³idh and if I ever get a device that wonā€™t connect to that name Iā€™m going to end up having to reset 50-some devices. ---

My spouse is disabled, so I have converted every light, fan, and anything else that plugs in to work by voice control. ---

How is not resolved by now at the end of 2023??? Have to pull out the ladder to reach all my devices again. ---
