Why My Roborock Device is Offline

First, it’s important to understand that there are several reasons why your Roborock Device might be offline. It could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, incorrect login credentials, or a problem with the device itself.

Loss of power or disconnected power supply

One of the most common reasons for a Roborock device to go offline is a loss of power or a disconnected power supply. Make sure that your device is properly plugged in and that the power supply is working correctly.

Network connectivity issues

Another common reason for a Roborock device to go offline is network connectivity issues. If your device is having trouble connecting to your Wi-Fi network, try resetting your router or modem. You may also want to check your Wi-Fi signal strength and move your device closer to your router if necessary.

Firmware update issues

Sometimes, a firmware update can cause your Roborock device to go offline. If this is the case, try resetting your device and then updating the firmware again. You can also try contacting Roborock customer support for assistance.

Other technical issues

There may be other technical issues causing your Roborock device to go offline. For example, there may be a problem with the device’s sensors or with the docking station. If you have tried all of the above solutions and your device is still offline, you may want to contact Roborock customer support for further assistance.

How Do I Get Roborock Back Online?

When my Roborock device goes offline, there are a few steps I take to bring it back online. Here are some things that have worked for me:

1. Check the Wi-Fi connection: The first thing I do is check the Wi-Fi connection. Make sure that the Wi-Fi network is working properly and that the device is connected to the correct network. If the Wi-Fi signal is weak, move the Roborock’s docking station closer to the Wi-Fi router or add a range extender.
   
2. Use the correct app: Ensure that you are using the correct app to control the Roborock device. If you are using the Mi Home app, switch to the Roborock app instead.
   
3. Choose the correct region: Choose the correct region and enable location permission on my phone. This is important because the Roborock device may not work properly if the region is set incorrectly.
   
4. Reset the Wi-Fi connection: If the above steps do not work, I reset the Roborock’s Wi-Fi connection. To do this, press and hold the power button on the device until it beeps. Then,  release the button and wait for the device to reset.
   
5. Update the app: If the Roborock device is still offline, check if the app is up to date. If the app is outdated, update it to the latest version.
   
6. Contact customer support: If none of the above steps work, contact customer support for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional troubleshooting steps or offer a replacement device if necessary.
   

Overall, getting the Roborock device back online may require some trial and error, but these steps have worked for me in the past.

Check Power Supply and Battery

As a Roborock device owner, the first thing I check when my device goes offline is the power supply and battery. I make sure that my device is properly plugged in and the battery is charged. Here are some steps to take to check the power supply and battery:

• Check if the power adapter is properly plugged into the wall socket and the device. If it’s not,  plug it in and wait for the device to turn on.
• Check the charging dock to see if it’s properly plugged in and the contacts are clean. If there’s any dust or debris, clean it with a dry cloth.
• Check the battery level on the device’s app. If it’s low, charge the device and wait for it to turn on.

If the device still doesn’t turn on,  try resetting the device’s Wi-Fi, as suggested by some of the search results.

It’s important to note that if the device’s battery is old or damaged, it may need to be replaced. In this case, contact Roborock support to get a new battery or have it repaired.

Verify Network Connectivity

As I was troubleshooting my Roborock device, one of the things I did was to verify the network connectivity of my Wi-Fi connection. Here are the steps I took:

1. Check other devices: I made sure that other devices connected to my Wi-Fi network were working properly. This helped me determine if the issue was with my network or just the Roborock device.
   
2. Restart router: I restarted my router by unplugging it for about 30 seconds and plugging it back in. This helped to refresh the connection and resolve any issues that might be causing the Roborock device to go offline.
   
3. Check Wi-Fi signal strength: I checked the Wi-Fi signal strength in the area where the Roborock device was located. If the signal strength is weak, it can cause the device to go offline. I moved the device closer to the router to improve the signal strength.
   
4. Check network settings: I checked the network settings on my router to make sure that the Roborock device was allowed to connect. I also made sure that the password I entered was correct.
   
5. Reset Wi-Fi connection: If all else fails, I reset the Wi-Fi connection on the Roborock device. To do this, I opened the top panel of the device and pressed the home and power buttons until it announced that it reset the Wi-Fi. Then I went to my phone’s Wi-Fi settings and chose the network created by the Roborock device. Finally, I went back to the app and added the device again.
   

By verifying the network connectivity of my Wi-Fi connection, I was able to identify and resolve any issues that were causing the Roborock device to go offline.

Restart the Device and the Network

When my Roborock device shows as offline, the first thing I do is restart both the device and the network. Here’s how I do it:

1. Turn off the Roborock device and unplug it from the power source. Wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in and turning it on again.
   
2. Restart the Wi-Fi router or modem. Unplug it from the power source and wait for a few minutes before plugging it back in.
   
3. Check if the Wi-Fi network is working properly. Sometimes, the network may be slow or not working at all, which can cause the Roborock device to show as offline.
   
4. Try connecting the Roborock device to a different Wi-Fi network to see if the issue is with the device or the network.
   
5. If none of the above steps work, try resetting the Wi-Fi on the Roborock device. To do this, press and hold the home and power buttons simultaneously until you hear a voice prompt. The Wi-Fi indicator will flash slowly, indicating that the Wi-Fi has been reset successfully.
