Tips to Bring Your Wyze Lock Gateway Back Online
Reboot Your Wyze Lock Gateway
If your Wyze Lock Gateway goes offline, the device might not be working properly. To fix this problem, you’ll need to reboot the Gateway. Rebooting the Gateway will delete any cache that can affect its connection.
To reboot your Wyze Lock Gateway, unplug the device from your power outlet. Then wait for 5 minutes before plugging the Gateway back into the outlet.
Your Wyze Lock Gateway may come online after you’ve rebooted the device. But if the Gateway remains offline, continue to the next step.
Connect the Gateway to Another Power Outlet
Your Wyze Lock Gateway requires a certain amount of power to connect to the internet. The Gateway collects most of this power from the outlet to which it is connected. So, if you connect the Gateway to a faulty outlet, the device will go offline.
You can resolve this issue by plugging your Gateway into a different outlet. While doing this, ensure that the new outlet is still close to your Wyze Lock. Otherwise, the Gateway might disconnect from the lock. Your Wyze Lock Gateway should regain its connection after you’ve connected it to a new power outlet.
However, if the Gateway is still offline, move on to the next step.
Move the Gateway Closer to Your Router
Your router relies on proximity to connect to devices. So, if your Gateway is too far away from your router, the Gateway may go offline.
If your Gateway goes offline, move the device closer to your router. This should bring your Gateway back online.
However, if your Gateway is still offline, you’ll need to try the last tip.
