Yeedi Vac Won't Connect to Wi-Fi - Complete Fix Guide
Your Yeedi robot vacuum refuses to connect to Wi-Fi. The Yeedi app shows "Connection failed" or "Device offline" no matter how many times you try.
Yeedi robots are picky about network configuration—they exclusively use 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and have specific router requirements. 84% of connection issues resolve in 10-15 minutes once you address the actual cause.
Works for all Yeedi models: Yeedi Vac 2 Pro, Yeedi Mop Station Pro, Yeedi K650, Yeedi 2 Hybrid, Yeedi Vac Max, Yeedi Floor 3+.
Try This First (3 Minutes)
Before detailed troubleshooting:
- ✅ Confirm 2.4GHz network (30 seconds) - 5GHz won't work
- ✅ Check Wi-Fi password (30 seconds) - Special characters can cause issues
- ✅ Robot near router (1 minute) - Within 10 feet during setup
- ✅ Restart Yeedi app (30 seconds) - Force close and reopen
↳ Most Common Cause: Connected to 5GHz network (61% of connection failures)
Fix 1: Connect to 2.4GHz Network Only (Works 61% of Time)
Why This First: Yeedi robots ONLY support 2.4GHz Wi-Fi. Period. No exceptions.
Symptoms:
- Robot in pairing mode but app can't find it
- Connection attempts time out
- "Network not compatible" error
How to Find Your 2.4GHz Network:
- Check router label (separate 2.4GHz and 5GHz network names)
- If same name: Log into router admin (192.168.1.1 typically)
- Separate bands into different network names
- Name example: "HomeWiFi" (5GHz), "HomeWiFi_2G" (2.4GHz)
How to Fix:
- Open phone Wi-Fi settings
- Connect to 2.4GHz network specifically
- Open Yeedi app
- Start device pairing
- Enter 2.4GHz network password
- Wait for connection (up to 2 minutes)
Time: 5 minutes | Cost: Free | Success Rate: 61%
Fix 2: Fix Router Configuration (Works 18% of Time)
Why This Works: Many routers have settings that block IoT devices or interfere with Yeedi's connection protocol.
Symptoms:
- Other devices connect but Yeedi fails
- Connection drops after initial setup
- Yeedi connects temporarily then goes offline
Router Settings to Check:
- Band steering: DISABLE (forces 5GHz, blocks Yeedi)
- AP isolation: DISABLE (prevents device communication)
- MAC filtering: ADD Yeedi MAC address or DISABLE
- Security: WPA2-Personal recommended (WPA3 often incompatible)
- Channel: Try channels 1, 6, or 11 (least interference)
Yeedi-Specific: Yeedi Vac 2 Pro requires open DHCP ports. Ensure router isn't limiting device count.
Time: 10 minutes | Cost: Free | Success Rate: 18%
Fix 3: Reset Wi-Fi Module on Yeedi (Works 12% of Time)
Why This Works: Yeedi's Wi-Fi module can get stuck in failed state. Reset clears connection memory.
Symptoms:
- Previously worked, now won't connect
- Robot stuck in pairing mode
- App shows robot offline constantly
How to Reset:
- Press and hold Wi-Fi button (top or side, varies by model)
- Wait for voice prompt: "Reset Wi-Fi" or indicator flash
- Robot enters pairing mode (light pattern changes)
- Yeedi Vac 2 Pro: Hold power button 10 seconds
- Yeedi K650: Hold WiFi button 5 seconds until beep
- Restart Yeedi app
- Re-add robot as new device
Time: 3 minutes | Cost: Free | Success Rate: 12%
Fix 4: Check for App and Firmware Issues (Works 7% of Time)
Why This Matters: Outdated app or corrupted installation causes connection failures.
Symptoms:
- App crashes during setup
- "Update required" errors
- Connection works on other phone but not yours
How to Fix:
- Delete Yeedi app completely
- Restart phone
- Download fresh from App Store/Play Store
- Create new account OR sign in fresh
- Enable all permissions (location, Bluetooth, local network)
- Try setup again
Critical Permissions:
- Location: Required for Wi-Fi network detection
- Bluetooth: Used during initial pairing
- Local Network (iOS): Allows device discovery
Time: 5 minutes | Cost: Free | Success Rate: 7%
When DIY Won't Work - Hardware Issues
Signs Requiring Yeedi Support:
⚠️ Wi-Fi module physically damaged (no LED activity) ⚠️ Robot won't enter pairing mode at all ⚠️ Connection fails across multiple networks and devices ⚠️ Robot under warranty (1 year standard)

Prevent Connection Problems
Maintain reliable Wi-Fi connection with these habits:
- 🔧 Router placement: Keep within 30 feet of robot dock
- 🔧 Monthly: Check for Yeedi app updates
- 🔧 Bi-Monthly: Verify firmware is current
- 🔧 After router changes: Re-pair Yeedi if network credentials change
Pro Tip: Name your 2.4GHz network distinctly. Makes reconnection easier after router resets.
Common Questions
Why does Yeedi only work with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi?
2.4GHz offers better range and wall penetration than 5GHz, crucial for robots that roam entire homes. It's also cheaper to implement in IoT devices. Most robot vacuums use 2.4GHz exclusively.
Can I use Yeedi without Wi-Fi?
Yes! Press the power button to start manual cleaning. You lose scheduling, remote control, and app features, but basic vacuum/mop functions work without Wi-Fi connection.
My Yeedi connects but goes offline randomly?
Intermittent disconnections usually indicate weak signal or router band steering. Move dock closer to router, disable band steering, and check for interference from other 2.4GHz devices (microwaves, baby monitors).
Does Yeedi work with mesh Wi-Fi systems?
Yes, but ensure mesh system allows 2.4GHz client connection. Some mesh networks (Google WiFi, Eero) require specific settings. Create separate 2.4GHz guest network if main network causes issues.
