Can some point me on how to change the wifi network for the outdoor cam and base station? I could only find instructions for the regular and pan cams.
Thank you!
I have been trying to connect the WCO Base to the WiFi without success for sometime now. So I am still hooked up via an Ethernet cable.
If you wanted to try, you will need to go into the Base station, click on Gear and the Device Info. From there you will see Change Connection and WiFi Network.
Please note: Some other Forums indicate that you must be on 2.,4G to get this done. I am not sure it is in the Production Version of the App. I am am a beta tester and have all Beta FW and App.
Hope this helps
My WCO Basestation refuses to connect to my Wi-fi network since I updated the firmware which has the option to connect to it wirelessly. I’ve tried multiple times over the past couple of weeks (I’m a beta tester). I’ve tried it on two different Wi-fi networks, saving the network & password before unplugging from my router. But it fails to work unless I plug it back in directly to my router. I even tried temporarily turning off the 5Ghz on my router, but it still didn’t want to connect. I figured future updates would fix it, but then I got an email from Wyze, touting it as a new feature.
That’s a great new feature… that doesn’t work though.

Yea, I saw that announcement as well. Still cannot connect via WiFi. I may try again this weekend. As a beta tester, I try after each FW update to the base and WCO and any updates to the app. No luck yet.

This seems to still be a problem 2 years later. I’ve been trying to set up the base station & Wyze Cam Outdoor v2 on WiFi. If I click “Change Connection” (default is Ethernet), a pop-up states “Simply unplug the base station from your router and it will connect to WiFi automatically.” I’ve done this ten times, using my 2.4 and 5.0 GHz networks, and also trying the Xfinity WiFi network, but it just spins and never connects. Luckily, the base station seems strong enough to send a signal from my router through a couple doors/walls and a window, though the connection strength isn’t great.

Haven’t been at this for as long as you have, but same here.
Wait, I might’ve found a solution. It worked for me, and I’ve tried everything. On this thread, someone said turning off WPA3 on your network will solve the problem.
