You need to re-add the hub to your Wyze app after disconnecting it from the ethernet cable. Don’t delete it, just do the add device process with it. You’ll then be able to enter the SSID/password. You need to just press the reset button after disconnecting the cable.
There’s a bug that prevents you from going from Ethernet to WiFi. Not sure if it’s been fixed with the latest hub firmware, but it doesn’t sound like it. You’re going to have to master reset the hub by holding the hub’s reset button down for at least 1 minute. It worked the 1st try for me, but you may have to give it a few tries. Also, you may have to manually type SSID and password in vs pasting. After master resetting, your sensors will still be there… you may have to reset a few sensor parameters though like delay timers, so it’s a good idea to go over all hub settings after successfully moving it to WiFi.
That is exactly how I connected mine to WiFi after using it via Ethernet. Disconnect hub from Ethernet, delete hub from app, hold reset button for 1 minute or longer, re-add to Wyze app.
Worked like a charm -it is laborious to add all those sensors back, reconfigure monitoring and retouch the alexa routines, but it worked. In retrospective, when you are stuck it is best to use the big hammer.
No special characters in your SSID password? Please don’t Not ever application can accept them. Since there’s few hints that this cold be an issue, best to simply avoid them always.
There are certain characters that seem to be problematic in the SSID name. However, I use spaces, commas, upper and lower case and other punctuation marks in my passwords without any issue.
Thank you for coming back to report your status. It’s great to hear you’re up and running on WiFi. If I had known about this bug prior to initially setting my hub up, I would have started setup via WiFi. It’s good to be able to better locate the hub untethered from CAT cable. When the bug is fixed, we should be able to switch back and forth at will between WiFi and Ethernet like the outdoor cam hub.
