What to do first

Verify Wi-Fi name, password, router status, and signal strength, then retry setup.

  1. Verify the Wi-Fi password carefully.
  2. Make sure the selected Wi-Fi network is the right one.
  3. Move the Sync Module closer to the router.
  4. Restart setup in the Blink app.
  5. Restart the router if other devices are having trouble.
  6. Use Blink support if the solid red LED continues after correct Wi-Fi setup.

When this can be normal

This can appear during failed setup, but it is not a connected state.

When to stop troubleshooting

Stop and check Blink support if you verified the Wi-Fi password and the module still cannot connect.

Parts or products that may help
