Here are the steps you can take to resolve recurring Wi-Fi disconnection issues on the Ionmax+ ED12 12L Smart Industrial Dehumidifier:
✅ 1. Check Wi-Fi Signal Strength & Placement
- Ensure the dehumidifier is within good range of the Wi-Fi router.
- Avoid obstacles (walls, metal objects) and interference from other wireless devices.
- If possible, place the router closer or use a Wi-Fi extender.
✅ 2. Restart Devices
- Power-cycle the dehumidifier and Wi-Fi router.
- Sometimes a simple reboot can restore stable connectivity.
✅ 3. Verify Network Settings
- Confirm the network name (SSID) and password are correct.
- Ensure you’re connecting to a 2.4 GHz network (many IoT devices do not support 5 GHz).
- Disable special SSID characters if the device has trouble recognizing them.
✅ 4. Update Firmware/Software
- Check if there’s a firmware update available for the Ionmax+ app or the dehumidifier itself.
- Install the latest updates — these often fix connectivity bugs.
✅ 5. Reduce Network Congestion
- Disconnect unused devices from the Wi-Fi.
- Avoid heavy bandwidth usage (streaming, downloads) when trying to maintain a stable connection.
✅ 6. Reset Wi-Fi Settings on the Device
- Delete the saved Wi-Fi profile from the dehumidifier.
- Reconnect to the network from scratch using the correct SSID and password.
✅ 7. Check for Router Settings That Block Connections
- Disable MAC filtering if enabled.
- Ensure DHCP is on so the device can get an IP address.
- Check router firewall settings that might block IoT device traffic.
✅ 8. Ensure Stable Power
- Check that the dehumidifier is receiving consistent power; voltage fluctuations can cause resets and Wi-Fi drops.
✅ 9. Check for App-Specific Issues
- Close and reopen the Ionmax+ app.
- Log out and log in again.
- Reinstall the app if needed.
✅ 10. Factory Reset (Last Resort)
- If problems continue, perform a full factory reset on the dehumidifier and set up Wi-Fi again.
✅ 11. Contact Support
