I’m trying to add a Wyze Cam v4 to my network, but I keep getting a “Cannot connect to local network” error. My Wi-Fi is a blended 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz network. What’s odd is that I’ve already successfully added a Wyze Cam v3 and a Wyze Cam Pan to this exact same network without any issues. For some r…

Did you try to turn off the 5.0GHz network, add the camera and turn the 5.0 back on. My cable modem/router was originally one SSID for both networks but I split them to 2.4 and 5.0 with different SSID. Or you could make a guest network on the 2.4 and try to set up the V4.
