Hello Wyze Users! I am just wondering if someone do this? I have wyze camv2 mounted outside under eavestrough on my garage and it was connected to wifi range extender, i was thinking to buy a better wireless range extender to replace my crap existing one, if i setup the new one with same SSID and password that i configure in my existing, is that will work that wyze can reconnect it self to the new wifi range extender?i use a neighbour’s ladder before there was no pandemic but now my neighbour told me that i cannot borrow his ladder or any tools for safety reason that’s why i cannot unmount the wyze from eavestrough and reconfigure again. thanks in advance! ---

Yes it should work fine. Just make sure the new SSID is on the 2.4 GHz band, that the encryption is the same, and that, preferably, any 5 GHz uses a different SSID. ---

I got a new router and matched the SSID and Password, and I was able to successfully switch from WPA/WP2 to WPA2/WPA3 (Wifi 6 router) without the 50+ Wyze devices skipping a beat. ---

In theory it should be good… But you may have to do a software restart of the camera in the Wyze app… Wifi can be finicky… And beyond that, is you have troubles, you may have to manually restart the camera… (Which without a ladder may be a bit challenging.) ---

For the purposes of power input, yes,… But if you need need to get to the physical setup button which is located on the camera itself, then a power restart will not be enough. ---

you mean, you did not re setup again without pushing the button on wyze, your wyze cams re-connected it self in your new router? ---

Si ma camera est non accessible, est-ce possible de rebrancher avec mon nouveau routeur
