• Changing your internet provider: This usually means a new modem/router and new login details.
• Network security updates: You may have changed your WiFi password for safety.
• Switching from 5GHz to 2.4GHz: Some users accidentally connect to the wrong band and need to fix it.
• Vacuum not responding to app commands: A weak or lost connection might require a fresh setup.

If any of these apply, it’s time to reconnect your Eufy vacuum to the correct network. The good news? It’s a straightforward process once you know the steps.

What You’ll Need Before Starting

Before you begin, make sure you have the following ready. Skipping any of these could cause delays or connection failures.

1. Your Eufy Vacuum

Make sure your vacuum is powered on and has at least 20% battery. A low battery can interrupt the setup process. If needed, charge it fully before starting.

2. The EufyHome App

Download the EufyHome app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) if you don’t already have it. This is the only official app for managing your Eufy devices. Avoid third-party apps—they won’t work.

3. Your New WiFi Network Details

You’ll need:

• The exact name (SSID) of your WiFi network
• The correct password (case-sensitive)
• Confirmation that it’s a 2.4GHz network (most Eufy vacuums don’t support 5GHz)

4. A Smartphone or Tablet

You’ll use this to run the EufyHome app and guide the setup process. Make sure it’s connected to the same 2.4GHz network you want your vacuum to use.

5. A Stable Internet Connection

Your phone and vacuum both need a strong signal. Place your vacuum within 10–15 feet of your router during setup for best results.

Step 1: Reset Your Eufy Vacuum’s Network Settings

The first and most important step is to reset your vacuum’s network settings. This clears any old WiFi information and prepares the device to connect to a new network.

Why is this necessary? Your vacuum remembers the last network it was connected to. If you try to reconnect without resetting, it might keep trying to connect to the old network—even if that network no longer exists.

How to Reset Network Settings on Different Eufy Models

The reset method varies slightly depending on your vacuum model. Here’s how to do it for the most common ones:

For RoboVac 11S, 15C, 25C, 30C, 35C:

1. Press and hold the “Home” and “Spot Clean” buttons at the same time.
2. Hold them for about 5–7 seconds until you hear a beep and see the WiFi light blink rapidly.
3. Release the buttons. The vacuum is now in pairing mode.

For RoboVac G30, G40, G20, G10:

1. Press and hold the “Home” button for 10 seconds.
2. The WiFi indicator will blink quickly, and you’ll hear a voice prompt saying “WiFi reset.”
3. Release the button. Your vacuum is ready to connect to a new network.

For RoboVac L70, L90, L35:

1. Press and hold the “Home” and “Power” buttons together for 10 seconds.
2. The device will beep and the WiFi light will flash rapidly.
3. Release the buttons to complete the reset.

Pro Tip: After resetting, the vacuum will no longer respond to app commands until it’s reconnected. That’s normal—just proceed to the next step.

Step 2: Open the EufyHome App and Start Setup

Now that your vacuum is reset, it’s time to use the EufyHome app to reconnect it to your new WiFi network.

Launch the EufyHome App

Open the app on your smartphone or tablet. If you’re not already logged in, sign in with your Eufy account. If you don’t have one, create a free account—it’s required for device management.

Tap “Add Device”

On the home screen, look for a “+” icon or a button that says “Add Device” or “Add Robot Vacuum”. Tap it to begin the setup process.

Select Your Vacuum Model

The app will show a list of Eufy devices. Choose the model that matches your vacuum (e.g., RoboVac G30, RoboVac 35C). If you’re unsure, check the label on the bottom of your vacuum.

Confirm the Vacuum Is in Pairing Mode

The app will ask you to confirm that your vacuum’s WiFi light is blinking rapidly. If it is, tap “Yes”. If not, go back to Step 1 and reset the network settings again.

Step 3: Connect Your Phone to the 2.4GHz WiFi Network

This step is critical—and often overlooked. Most Eufy vacuums only support the 2.4GHz WiFi band, not the faster 5GHz band. If your phone is connected to 5GHz, the setup will fail.

Check Your Phone’s WiFi Band

On most dual-band routers, the 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks have similar names—like “HomeWiFi” and “HomeWiFi_5G.” Make sure your phone is connected to the 2.4GHz version.

How to Switch to 2.4GHz (If Needed)

• Go to your phone’s Settings > WiFi.
• Forget the current network (if it’s 5GHz).
• Reconnect to the 2.4GHz network using the correct password.

Important: Some newer phones automatically switch between bands. To avoid confusion, temporarily disable 5GHz on your router (via router settings) during setup, then re-enable it later.

Step 4: Enter Your WiFi Network Details

Now it’s time to tell your vacuum which network to join.

Select Your WiFi Network

The EufyHome app will scan for available networks. Look for your 2.4GHz network in the list and tap it.

Enter the Password

Type in your WiFi password exactly as it appears. Remember:

• Passwords are case-sensitive (e.g., “MyPass123” is different from “mypass123”).
• Avoid special characters if possible—some vacuums have trouble with symbols like @, #, or &.
• If you’re unsure, check your router’s label or login page.

Tap “Connect”

After entering the password, tap the connect button. The app will now attempt to send the network information to your vacuum.

Step 5: Wait for the Connection to Complete

This is where patience pays off. The connection process can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 2 minutes.

Watch the LED Indicator

Your vacuum has a WiFi light (usually near the power button). Here’s what the lights mean:

• Rapid blinking: Vacuum is searching for the network.
• Slow blinking: Connecting to the network.
• Solid light: Successfully connected.
• No light or red light: Connection failed.

Listen for Voice Prompts

Many Eufy vacuums give voice feedback. You might hear:

• “Connecting to WiFi…”
• “WiFi connected successfully.”
• “Connection failed. Please try again.”

If you hear a success message and see a solid light, congratulations—your vacuum is now connected to the new WiFi network.

Step 6: Test the Connection

Don’t assume it’s working just because the light is on. Test it to be sure.

Send a Test Command

In the EufyHome app:

• Tap your vacuum’s icon.
• Press the “Clean” button to start a quick cleaning cycle.
• Watch to see if the vacuum responds.

If it starts cleaning, the connection is successful.

Check Remote Features

Try other features like:

• Scheduling a cleaning
• Viewing the cleaning map (if supported)
• Adjusting suction power

If all features work, your vacuum is fully reconnected.

Avoid long passwords with special characters. Use a mix of letters and numbers (e.g., “CleanHome2024”) for better compatibility.

3. Update Your Vacuum’s Firmware

Outdated firmware can cause connection issues. Check for updates in the EufyHome app regularly.

4. Avoid Public or Guest Networks

Eufy vacuums work best on private, password-protected home networks. Guest networks often block device communication.

5. Reconnect After Router Changes

If you reset your router, change its settings, or update firmware, reconnect your vacuum to avoid disconnection.

How to Prevent Future WiFi Issues

Once your vacuum is connected, take a few steps to keep it running smoothly.

1. Label Your Router

Write down your network name and password and stick it on your router. This helps when you need to reconnect devices.

2. Use a Mesh WiFi System

If you have a large home, a mesh system (like Eero or Google Nest) ensures strong signal coverage everywhere your vacuum cleans.

3. Schedule Regular App Checks

Open the EufyHome app once a month to check for updates and ensure your vacuum is online.

4. Avoid Moving the Router

If possible, keep your router in a central location. Moving it can weaken the signal in certain areas.
