Error code P1-78 on Ring Floodlight Camera

My floodlight camera suddenly stopped connecting to wifi and has error code P1-78. I have tried reinstalling several times but with no luck. All other ring devices and electronics have no problem connecting to the wifi and the router was reset as well. How do I fix this problem or is it a manufacturer’s defect? I see other comments from users with the same problem for their ring devices but no actual solution offered.

Hi @user39968. Have you tried a power cycle? You can do this by simply disconnecting the Floodlight Cam from power for 10 minutes, then reconnecting it. If you aren't seeing any lights or signs of life from the Floodlight, you'll need to contact our support team. Please give our support team a call at one of the numbers available [here](https://support.ring.com/hc/en-us/articles/213608406).

Excuse me, but how do you turn off power to the flood light/camera? There is no on-off switch. So do I have to get up on a ladder, remove the camera, let it sit for ten minutes and then reinstall the whole thing? There has to be an easier way.

Same thing happened to me. I tried to flip my breaker for a few minutes. Reset it back to my wifi and nothing. I've got a Samsung Galaxy S22. My floodlight is generation 2. I've got plenty of wifi strength green at 53. I'm about to toss this thing and get something hardwired!

Hi @user40536. As @user7654321 mentioned, you can do this by flipping the circuit breaker that controls power to your Floodlight Cam.

None of that worked! What I had to do was totally reset my Wi-Fi. So unplug your router for 30 seconds to a minute. Let it get back together. Then it should work. But just to be on the safe side, I reconnected My camera to the Wi-Fi again! Don't waste your time doing anything else. So far this is worked! So unplug your router, give it 30 seconds to a minute. Then go back outside and reconnect your ring to your Wi-Fi!

Turning off power, by disconnecting the wires, worked. Turning off power at the breaker did not work, however.
