Is the issue potentially related to (or the same as) this topic? > [@Outdoor Plug Not Coming Online](https://forums.wyze.com/t/outdoor-plug-not-coming-online/312304): > > Last Christmas I bought a Wyze Outdoor Plug and at the time I was able to add it to my Wyze app w/o any problem. I remember it did a firmware upgrade and I also tested both ports manually. I didn’t have a use for it at the time, so I put in on my shelf. It’s been sitting on my shelf up until a couple of weeks ago when I decided to use it to control some lights on my back porch. I connected it to the power source and the device “never” came online. The little blue light blinks for a few secon… @carverofchoice mentioned getting someone to look into this, though I don’t know what the status of that is, and I was unable to replicate the user’s issue in the other topic. In addition to what @Seapup mentioned, something else you could try is forcing your phone onto your router’s 2.4 GHz network by temporarily disabling the router’s 5 GHz radio/SSID (I’m assuming it’s dual-band; maybe also disable 6 GHz if you have that). When I had recent difficulty re-adding an original Plug my ultimate solution was to take the Plug to the same room as the router for setup, and I also disabled 5 GHz on the router _and_ both radios on another wireless access point that I’d recently installed, just so I could make only a single band/access point available for my phone and the Plug. I don’t know if that will help with your Plug Outdoor, but it’s something I’d try and something I’ve had to resort to in the past for other finicky IoT things that don’t want to connect. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.wyze.com/t/two-outdoor-plugs-wont-connect/313916)._
