Has a lot to do with why my main “personal” SSID has a 53 character password. And that does not get to my primary internal network (nothing WiFi does). It does get fairly unrestricted Internet - as opposed to the IoT and guest SSIDs that have simpler passwords and are FAR more limited access.
Wyze needs to allow you to change the WiFi Network from the app. I have four Wyze Cameras and had to delete each Camera and add each Camera again connected to the new network and reset all settings.

DO NOT DELETE the camera first. Just do the setup on the new WiFi and all your settings and rules will be retained.

I switched a floodlight pro from 5ghz to 2.4 ghz for better signal strength. A couple of settings changed.

Yeah, I did the same on a FLPro this week and had a few settings change with the Floodlight and ambient light schedule, etc, but also had a lot of settings stay the same, including all my rules, etc. So I’m glad I still didn’t delete it. It still saved me a bunch of time/effort.

Following here now…My Outdoor Base station drops out daily, then come backs on its own hours later. I suspect It is due to a faulty WiFi router. So I want to move my connection to another Wifi router to diagnose. I also have bought a new Base Station to setup separately on another WiFi router to test. Just to rule out a defective Base Station or just a WiFi that always drops in and out.
It would be so awesome to be able to make this simple change right in the App itself…Reading above, this is not possible.

super annoying
I have about a dozen devices. Changed my router. Have to readd all of them. Cant get my camera to scan any of the barcodes. Mess around with lighting and focal distance. cant get it to read any of them. Why wont wyze app let me see my phone image?
Lots of replies and not sure if wyze read them all. Ability to change wifi in the app would be great. I’ve got new wifi. I can leave the same name.
But… I have the ability to separate my 2.4ghz network out. I’d like ability so I can spin up a new IOT network and just have it hop over. It’s 100% possible. Wyze Cam would be connected to current wifi and the second ssid would just be waiting. Having to go to every wyze device and setup again is a pain. What’s even more difficult is if I had to get all my users to change wifi ssid and password. Much easy to just move the cameras to a separate network.

Agreed.
Is there any way to see the date this request went to “in-progress”?
I voted about 5 years ago but got used to the reset method.
Yes, I have that power. It was changes to In-Progress on January 24, 2023. It was placed also into ‘Researching’ and that is the phase we are still at.

Cancel my subscription to this particular thread. Nothing is going to be done about it. In fact, Wyze has doubled down and we’re expected to give away our location just to set/reset a camera. The server that gives us our alerts run through Asia so that means the Chinese not only have a view into our homes, they know exactly where our homes are located. 
This is Google’s & Apple’s decision more than it is Wyze’s. As I’ve explained to others:
That is absolutely 100% incorrect and a common misunderstanding. Your video stream never routes to Asia, ever. If you view your camera while you’re on your home network, that video stream never even leaves your house/router. It streams directly from your camera to your Phone. It doesn’t even route the video through the internet, let alone the Wyze servers, let alone any Asian Server.
If you are away from home and live stream your camera through the app on your phone, the video stream is still a direct Peer to Peer connection with your Camera. The video stream is not routing through some other server…Wyze or otherwise.
Now if you’re using the browser Web Portal, that does use Amazon Kinesis to route the video stream through AWS, though it stays in the USA.
You may be thinking of either a ping or authentication through TUTK (Throughtek is a Taiwanese company), but they basically do the authentication and even that is supposed to stay with the US servers (I believe there is currently something like the WCO Base station that is using an Asia IP for either the ping or Authentication, though hopefully Wyze resolves that, but even so, they do NOT ever have any access to the video stream).
Our alerts/notiications also do not go through Asia. They go through AWS and Wyze servers located in the USA.

Only you can do this. Got to the bottom of the thread and switch your preference to Normal or Muted as shown in this screenshot.

Previous cameras didn’t require location services to be on. Something I liked because I don’t want my phone’s location services on.
Yeah, I get that. They were able to work around that by using QR codes on some of the older cameras. I think one of the main reasons they switched to Bluetooth for provisioning/setup is because the IoT industry in general has decided that Bluetooth setup should be the new standard, and in some cases it may even be required to be compliant with Matter or other standards. Because of these general agreements, it will become more and more rare for us to see IoT devices, particularly smart cameras that don’t use BlueTooth for provisioning/setup, and because of that, they will require location permissions from the Phone OS.
Still, I believe you can leave the GPS location system toggled off and you can tell the phone to only approve an app to use location permission that one time during setup and then not allow the app to continue to use it. Still, I understand the privacy preferences. You may wish to look into non-cloud and privacy-oriented platforms like Home Assistant where all your data stays as your own. I love Home Assistant.

Except pathetic BCP design which needs location to get sunset/sunrise times for spotlight activation, which instead should be done based on actual light conditions like normal cameras do
When away from home, all communication is going through the house’s access point (ISP server) and either your telecom’s Internet server or the ISP at the current location. It is going through the Internet. When at home, there is a noticeable delay between making a sound for the camera to capture and that sound being heard on the app. If it was a direct peer-to-peer, it would not have that delay. That comes from the signal leaving the home going somewhere (Taiwan?) and coming back to the phone. If this peer-to-peer existed, would I be able to ping the camera(s) from a computer? Show me.
On the old CCTV system and there’s an IP that gets typed in to the manufacturer’s app to connect it to the DVR (peer-to-peer). Though to see it outside of the house, the DVR requires an access point (nearly peer-to-peer). Wyze app does all this for the user. Isn’t that their server taking care of all the routing and handshaking? A database of all users’ access points and camera addresses to make it all work, yes?
