Roomba 670 Won't Connect To Wifi: Troubleshooting Guide

Introduction

The Roomba 670 is a popular robot vacuum cleaner that can be controlled through a mobile app, allowing you to schedule cleaning sessions and control the device even when you’re not at home. However, some users have reported issues with the device not connecting to their WiFi network. If you’re experiencing this problem, don’t worry – there are several ways to troubleshoot the issue and get your Roomba connected to WiFi.

Step 1: Check Your WiFi Network

Before you start troubleshooting the Roomba 670, make sure that your WiFi network is working properly. Try connecting another device, such as a smartphone or laptop, to the network to ensure that it’s working properly. If your other devices can connect to the network but the Roomba still can’t, move on to the next step.

Step 2: Check the Roomba’s WiFi Module

The Roomba 670 uses a WiFi module to connect to your home network. If the module is not working properly, the device won’t be able to connect to WiFi. To check the module, press and hold the “Clean” button on the Roomba for 10 seconds. You should hear a tone, indicating that the WiFi module is working properly. If you don’t hear the tone, the module may be defective and you’ll need to contact iRobot customer support for a replacement.

Step 3: Reset the Roomba’s WiFi Connection

If the Roomba’s WiFi module is working properly but the device still won’t connect to your network, try resetting the WiFi connection. To do this, press and hold the “Clean” button until the Roomba beeps twice. This will reset the WiFi connection and erase any saved networks. Then, try connecting the Roomba to your network again using the mobile app.

Step 4: Check Your WiFi Network Settings

If the Roomba still won’t connect to your network, check your WiFi network settings. Make sure that your network is using the correct security protocol (such as WPA2) and that your network name (SSID) and password are correct. You can also try changing the security protocol to see if that resolves the issue.

Step 5: Move the Roomba Closer to the Router

If the Roomba is still having trouble connecting to your network, try moving it closer to your router. The Roomba may be out of range or experiencing interference from other devices. You can also try moving the router to a more central location in your home to improve the WiFi signal.

Step 6: Update the Roomba’s Firmware

If none of the above steps have worked, try updating the Roomba’s firmware. iRobot occasionally releases firmware updates that can fix bugs and improve the device’s performance. To check for updates, open the mobile app and go to the Roomba’s settings. If an update is available, follow the prompts to download and install it.

Conclusion

If your Roomba 670 won’t connect to WiFi, don’t panic – there are several ways to troubleshoot the issue. Start by checking your WiFi network and the Roomba’s WiFi module, then try resetting the WiFi connection and checking your network settings. If all else fails, try moving the Roomba closer to your router or updating the device’s firmware. With a little troubleshooting, you’ll have your Roomba up and running in no time.
