wyze cameras will not connect since i got 5g internet home gayeway from t mobile
My wyze cameras not connecting to my 5g t mobile internet does anyone know why and can anyone offer help or direction to go thanks
The most simple possibility is that wyze camera uses 2.4G wifi and your TMO router combines 5 and 2.5G into one SSID. Separate your wifi into 2 different SSID, each for 5 and 2.4g. When you use your laptop or smartphone to setup wyze camera, make sure your laptop/smartphone is on the same 2.4g network so it can "see" it. After your wyze camera connects, you can set your other devices back to 5G.
There are multiple threads and the TMO manuals show you how to separate.
I was able to connect to my TMO 5G modem and split them to have a 2.4 and a 5.0 Ghz wifi connections. My old Wyze Cam V1 cameras will still not connect to the 2.4 wifi network. I get:
“cannot fine the specified network name”.
Maybe the new Wyze Cam V3 cameras will connect okay. I was thinking about buying one of those and trying.
