Your Wyze doorbell is meant to be a source of security, but if you’re seeing connectivity issues or problems, you may need to reset it. There are different types of reset, and we’re going to go over all of them for you so that you find exactly what you need.

To factory reset on your Wyze doorbell you’ll need it connected to a power source. Then click the Reset button that is on the back of the doorbell. This clears the Wyze doorbell of all the settings and restores it back to factory settings. If you do this, it goes back to being just like it came in the box without any mods or customizations.

Power Cycling Your Wyze Doorbell

If you need to power cycle your doorbell but are unaware of how to do so, here is the step-by-step way to do so. First off, make sure you have the latest version of the Wyze app on your smartphone.

Power cycling the network – You will need to completely take the power cord off your router for at least 10 seconds and then plug the cord back into the router. After this network reboot, you should have cleared any of the congestion in the channel and you should have less input lag, which in turn will cause less trouble for the Wyze doorbell.

Power cycling the Wyze doorbell – You’ll need to flip the breaker on the doorbell and power it to the off spot. Just like power cycling the network, you’ll want to wait a full 10 seconds or more, then flip the breaker back to the one spot. This can help clear many of the problems that may arise with the doorbell.

Are you still having issues with your Wyze doorbell? It’s always a good idea to send a log to support if you are having problems. To do this, go to the Wyze app on the smartphone and click on your Wyze doorbell. Go to the Settings icon and choose Wyze Support.

Then, you’ll see “Submit a log”. Choose Doorbell and then connectivity issues. Sending an app log to live support can help determine what is happening with your Wyze doorbell and get you back to a fully functioning doorbell camera again. Live Support can help talk or walk you through other steps that may be needed to ensure you have a working setup.
