connect to wifi issues

[Bmcshane]

First time it connected just fine and worked for three days. I left the grill unplugged for a few days so thought that messed something up with the connection. I went and changed all the settings in the eero app to what the Traeger faq says and moved one of my mesh hubs into my garage right next to my grill then disabled the 5ghz network with eero while I tried to connect and still no go. I also tried making a separate 2.4ghz from my CenturyLink router just for the grill and that didn’t work. Traeger said it is on their end so idk I’ll try again tonight and see what happens

I followed every single recommendation for the EERO Mesh network on a brand new Ironwood 885. I could Never connect to my Wifi until……
Just before throwing in the towel and contacting support, a rabbit hole that would probably put me in an endless loop and still not yield results, I tried a “hail mary pass”. I had been using my iPhone 16 Pro for the Traeger app and truing to complete the WIFI setup for like 2.5 hours. Was already preparing myself to rummage through my IT graveyard and find an old router that couldn’t exceed 2.4 ghz. and just daisy chain it to the Eero mesh via. Gigabit switch…ugh!
So, i grabbed my iPAD, loaded the traeger app, connected the iPad to the Eero Guest network, disabled Advanced Security and disabled 5.0 ghz for the 10 min window on Eero. Voila! iPad connected without a hitch on the first Try and downloawd files and firmware update. No rhyme or reason here guys but, worth a shot if you have an alternate device upon which you can install the Traeger app.
Now I have a “guest” SID running and exposed on my network and basically just for the Traeger Ironwood. My motto being, “if it ain’t broke, I’m not finished” will probably lead me to try and put the Ironwood on the 5ghz connection BUT using the iPad and not the iPhone 16 as a conduit. Assuming that if it fails, can always go back to the Guest account, right? Ha, ha, gonna let that one sit for a while but knowing me, (plus a few beers) I’m gonna jump right back into the deep end!

Recap: if failing on one device try another!

have you tried yesterday or today? I was able to get mine to connect and another forum member who was having issues got his to connect as well. I will be cooking with it tonight. I’ll let you know if it works tonight

I also had some perplexing connectivity issues on my Pro 575. Finally resolved it by re-installing the Traeger App

I had tried my iPhone 16 pro, iPad and and android tablet. They all didn’t work for a day and a half. Then my phone worked. I haven’t tried to cook with it yet but will soon!

I’m glad it wasn’t just me. Wasn’t a good way to start out with the WiFi stuff.
