Not Connecting to WiFi
Eufy Smart Doorbell
Severity:What Does This Error Mean?
Eufy doorbells connect to 2.4 GHz WiFi only — not 5 GHz. Switch your phone to the 2.4 GHz band before pairing and follow the eufy Security app setup. If pairing fails, reset the doorbell and try again.

How to Fix It
-
Switch your phone to 2.4 GHz.
Eufy doorbells are 2.4 GHz only. In your phone's WiFi settings, select the 2.4 GHz band — usually the network name without a '5G' or '_5GHz' suffix. Keep the phone on this network throughout the entire setup.
-
Update the eufy Security app.
Outdated app versions can cause pairing failures. Update via the App Store or Google Play before starting setup.
-
Start setup in the eufy Security app.
Open the app, tap the plus icon, and select your doorbell model. Follow the on-screen prompts — the app will ask you to scan a QR code with the doorbell camera or press the doorbell's reset button.
-
Enter WiFi credentials carefully.
Type your 2.4 GHz WiFi password exactly — it is case-sensitive. If you recently changed your WiFi password, make sure you are using the new one.
-
Reset and retry if pairing fails.
Hold the reset button on the doorbell for 10 seconds until you hear a chime. Repeat the setup from the beginning. Make sure the doorbell is within 3 metres of the router during the pairing process.
