Step 1: Ensure a Stable Home WiFi Network

For a successful WiFi connection to the Deebot, you must first ensure that the network is ok. Connect to it with your phone and see whether you are getting a strong network.

If not, move the Deebot vac closer to the WiFi router.

Step 2: Turn the Deebot Robot Cleaner On

With you confirming the stability of the home network, it would be time to turn the robot cleaner on. Open the uppermost lid, and you will see a red switch, which you need to move to the left.

Once Deebot powers on, you will hear startup music. This music chime confirms that the device has successfully turned on.

Step 3: Reset the Deebot Robot and Activate Its WiFi

You first need to reset the Deebot robot cleaner for a WiFi connection. Now, where is the reset button on Deebot? Well, the reset switch of Deebot is just right beside the power switch. It is a round button. You can not miss it!

Nonetheless, when you locate the reset button, press and hold it for 1 second and release it. You should hear a beeping or voice prompt saying, ‘Entering network setup mode.’

Once the WiFi is turned on, you should see the WiFi indicator blink. That will assure you that you have successfully activated the WiFi.

Step 4: Connect Deebot to WiFi Network

If you are running an Android phone with the ECOVACS app, the robot will automatically start network configuration and connect to the mobile device.

On the other hand, if you are using an iOS device, you have to open the settings on your phone and select the WiFi network start that starts with ‘ECOVACS.’

After connecting, open the ECOVACS app and wait for the setup process to complete.

ECOVACS Deebot Fails to Connect to WiFi: What To Do

There are a few things that you can do when the ECOVACS Deebot fails to connect to your home WiFi.

They are:

1. Manually Connect the Robot to the Network

The ECOVACS should automatically connect with the home network after step 4 of the guide above. However, if it does not, and you have an Android phone, you have to manually make Deebot connect to your home’s network.

Open your phone’s settings app and select the network that starts with ‘ECOVACS.’ Then, get back to the ECOVACS app and wait for the network setup to complete. Do the same for iOS devices.

2. Ensure That the Router has a 2.4G network

Still not connecting? Check whether your home’s network is 2.4G or 2.4G/5G mixed because connecting your Deebot requires a 2.4G network.

If not, you need to configure your router and make it offer a 2.4G network. The Deebot can’t connect to 5G networks.

3. Charge the robot

If the router has a 2.4G network, but the robot is still failing to connect, check Deebot’s charge. It should be fully charged.

Please put it on the charging dock when you find it is out of juice.

4. Ensure That the Robot is On

Did you successfully turn the robot on? Is the power light on? If not, turn the power switch correctly and make sure that Deebot has power. Is the robot not turning on? There’s a chance that it is out of charge.

Manually dock it in the charging station and let it charge for at least three hours. After that, try to turn it on again. If it still fails, you should contact Deebot support.

5. Check Whether WiFi Mode is On

Sometimes, the robot might not enter the WiFi mode after activating the reset switch. You can confirm it by checking the WiFi light.

It should be blinking. If not, turn the switch on again. Make sure to hold it for 1 second.
