If your Roomba not connecting to WiFi, there are a few common reasons. Luckily, they are mostly easy to troubleshoot – even if you are not a computer whiz.

Start with the obvious points, Check your WiFi band. Most of these robots do not accept 5GHz connections. They only pass with a 2.4 GHz network. So before installing, verify that it is set correctly to work.

Still finding your iRobot not connecting to WiFi? It could also be that the signal strength is low. To that end, set up your router and vacuum closer together to avoid issues with wall, floor, and metal obstructions.

Software updates should never be neglected. A lot of the connection failures usually arise from outdated firmware or mobile apps. Update all apps before attempting the setup again.

Reset network settings on the vacuum if your robot is not connecting to WiFi. Most models can easily wipe prior WiFi data using a button press or app command and restart fresh.

Wondering why my Roomba is not connecting even after trying all this. The problem might lie in your phone. Verify if Bluetooth and location services are enabled and whether any VPN or firewall settings block access.

If all else fails, do a factory reset of the vacuum and reinstall the app. Carefully follow the guided steps and make certain you are using the right login credentials.

A robot vacuum not connecting to WiFi can be frustrating most of the time, but it can be fixed. In this guide, you’ve learned a few steps away from being hands-free in cleaning again.
