If you encounter issues with your Geekee camera, refer to the following common problems and solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Camera won't connect to Wi-Fi. | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; 5GHz Wi-Fi network; camera too far from router. | Ensure correct 2.4GHz Wi-Fi password. Confirm your router broadcasts a 2.4GHz signal. Move camera closer to the router or use a Wi-Fi extender. |
