As others told you, your beef is with Google. When you order through the app, you technically placed the order through Google, not Wyze. Google’s contract forbids companies from giving refunds for subscriptions purchased through an app. They do not have access/permission to give refunds. Google manages the payment. Google usually allows refund requests within 48 hours though. If it’s been longer than 48 hours they will tell you to contact the app developer and the developer may issue a refund ba…
Though most Wyze cams are now IP65 rated against water and dust intrusion, mounting them upside down outdoors is not recommended (unless sheltered under an eave or similar.)
Water often intrudes and permanently fogs or stains the lens.
I did have a Panv3 pretty much completely die, it was upside down under an eave and the rain and wind one day got inside. I was able to bring it back to life by leaving it in a bag of rice for a couple of days, but YMMV on that.

Should say [Don’t do] “unless you really know what you’re doing”. Of course if you do, then you realize that QOS when you only control one end of the connection is mostly useless and often does more harm than good.
When I ran servers out of my house, it was handy for throttling individual downloads (which from my perspective was upload). That you can control. So it can be useful if you have slow upload speed like many cable providers, but again you have to know the right way to do it.
My contribution to “don’t doozes” is mess with any setting that you don’t understand or haven’t researched. Applies to wyze but especially when people get into their router admin interface and start changing stuff around, then complain stuff doesn’t work right. I liken it to when someone turns on a light switch and nothing happens, but then doesn’t turn it off. That thought process baffles me.
