Amysen Smart Plug Wi-Fi Connection Issues Troubleshooting

So here are some troubleshooting steps to try if your Amysen Smart Plug won’t connect to your home Wi-Fi network:

1. Ensure Your Plug Has Received Power

If you’re having issues connecting your Amysen Smart Plug to Wi-Fi, the first step to fix this is to confirm that your plug has received power and is in pairing mode.

So check the wall outlet where you plugged your Amysen Smart Plug and ensure that it’s turned on. If your plug has received power, you’ll see a rapidly flashing light on the LED indicator and this also shows it’s in pairing mode.

If you don’t see any light on the plug, press and hold the Power button for about 5 seconds until you see the LED indicator flashing rapidly.

Now try to connect your Plug to your home Wi-Fi again to see if it works. Did it work? Excellent! But if not, see the next troubleshooting step.

2. Check Your Wi-Fi Bandwidth

Another reason you may experience Wi-Fi connectivity issues with your Amysen Smart Plug is when you are trying to connect to an unsupported Wi-Fi network.

The plug only supports the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network band. So if your router is set to run on a dual-band or 5GHz band, chances are the connection will fail. So head over to your router and set the network band to only use the 2.4GHz network.

If you’re not sure how to do this, refer to your router’s user manual for instructions.

If you’re still not able to connect to your home Wi-Fi network, continue to the next troubleshooting step.

3. Check Wi-Fi Network and Password

One of the most common causes of smart plugs not connecting to Wi-Fi is that you’re entering the wrong password during the setup. So, make sure you are entering the correct password when connecting to your home Wi-Fi network.

More so, weak Wi-Fi signal strength can also cause connection issues. So check that your device and router have a good network range. If your router is far from the smart plug, move it closer to the smart plug to network signals. You may also consider using a Wi-Fi extender to improve your network signals.

Also, make sure that your mobile device is connected to the same Wi-Fi network you want to connect your plug to—else you may have connectivity issues.

4. Reset Your Router

If you’re still having connectivity issues, try to reset the router to see if it will improve the network.

Resetting your router makes it reconnect to all devices on your Wi-Fi network, and this process helps clear up any faults that may cause communication issues between your smart plug and router.

If you are unsure how to reset your router, contact your manufacturer or refer to your user manual for detailed instructions.

Note that you have to set a new Wi-Fi password after resetting your router.

5. Factory Reset Your Amysen Smart Plug

If everything else fails, resetting your Amysen smart plug is your best bet to resolve the connectivity issues. This will remove all the settings you’ve made to the smart plug and also remove other unseen bugs within the smart plug.

To reset your Amysen Smart Plug, press and hold the Power button (for about 5–10 seconds) until the LED indicator blinks rapidly. This should reset your plug and possibly fix the Wi-Fi connection issues.

Next, start the setup process all over again to see if it works.
