Flood Light Camera won’t connect to WiFi network

My flood light camera won’t connect to WiFi. It’s been about a month now and I’ve gone through all the reconnecting steps. When it gets to the step where it tries to search for WiFi networks it just keeps saying “searching for WiFi networks” over and over for about 5 minutes until it just stops and shuts down the process on its on. My Ring doorbell connects perfectly fine without issues, so not understanding why my flood light camera won’t connect. Anyone have similar issues and/or a fix? I’m ready to just return this thing.

    I had the same issue and Ring support team confirmed that I have a defective unit. I will get a replacement for the following reasons:• I have an EERO mesh system with 3 routers covering over 5k sq feet. Excellent signal strength!• Ring Door Bell and Stick up Camera were successfully installed• I purposely placed 1 router directly underneath the flood cam, and it still would not connect. It stated along the lines that my router might be too far away. Really?! Router is literally in front of its nose

      I had the same problem, my floodlight cam wouldnt connect to our wifi - it wouldnt even find anything! That was on my Samsung phone so we tried on an iphone and it worked without any problems. Just thought I'd add this for others who are having problems.

        Hi @Eddie_mini. Thanks for sharing! Trying a different mobile device is a great troubleshooting tip. :)

        This totally worked for me! I was dreading reading the other suggestions and this did it! Thank you so much for sharing... For others, I found success on my iPad. So you could try on either devices if you have one.

        Same is just the past week. Back camera which is further away from router works fine. Doorbell works fine. Just the floodlight. Which means hiring someone to climb up and troubleshoot or replace. Frustrating. Unit is a few years old. I feel your pain with Ring.

        Same in just the past week. Back camera which is further away from router works fine. Doorbell works fine. Just the floodlight. Which means hiring someone to climb up and troubleshoot or replace. Frustrating. Unit is a couple years old. I feel your pain with Ring. They didn't respond why so many people are having the same issue in the same time period. Referred me to a 3rd party to come and would not discuss who they are or what fees apply.

          I am having exactly the same problem.  We have 3 ring cameras:  a Doorbell, a Indoor and a Floodlight Cam Plus.  All worked for over a year, no problems.  Suddenly, about a month ago, the floodlight cam stopped connecting to my network (the other two are still working).  Whe
