So my router broke and I got a new one. Before that my WeMo stuff worked great, no problems. However, since I have my new router it's been an absolute hell.
I reset my WeMo link thinking I could just connect it to the new network. Nope. At first I'd get errors in the iOS app that no wifi networks could be found and when I'd manually enter in my SSID and password it would say the password was incorrect. When returning to the password screen it would have removed the last character of my password. For example, my password was something like "password01" but upon returning after the "incorrect password" error it would display my entered password as "password0".
I've done another reset of the WeMo link, reinstalled the WeMo app and now it seems to work slightly better. But only slightly. I connect to the WeMo wifi network, it finds my normal wifi network, I select it and enter my password. Now it starts connecting, and after about 10 seconds the app just crashes. Every time I try, boom, crash.
I have a WeMo Link F7C031uk and am using the latest iOS app.
Solved! Go to Solution.

To isolate, download the Wemo App on a different handheld and check if the same challenge recur from there. Also, what's the Wemo App version on your device? We'll sort this out.

Apologies for the late reply, any and all emails from this website seem to end up in my spam box, I'm using a hotmail address.
I don't have a different device to test this on, I only have my iPhone. I'm on the latest version of the iOS app, which is 1.18.1

Hello, Rkilarski. What's the current version of your Wemo app? Is it up to date? We suggest that you uninstall/re-install the app before you try to set it up again. You can also download the app on a different handheld device for further isolation.
Let us know how it goes.

Hi Rkilarski,
It took quite some time to get it fixed, it's only been working again for a week. The only way to fix it is by contacting support, as it's something on their server side.
First I talked to a normal customer service rep and they told me to do various things like reset my Link and Switch, forget wifi passwords, disable iCloud backups, etc. but they weren't able to resolve the issue.
They then brought me in contact with one of their engineers and he was able to finally resolve everything. They had to disconnect my devices from their end in their own WeMo cloud, which had the data for my old WiFi network saved. So sadly there is no way for you to fix it yourself, aside of contacting support.
The engineer I spoke to was called Rudolph Aranez and he was a Sustaining Engineer, maybe that can get you somewhere. Here's the reference to my ticket/case, maybe that will help in identiyfing the solution: ref:_00D306e4T._50034y6Vi7:ref

It sounds like the same problem I’m having, but when I called support they asked for my credit card, address,etc, and told me there was a $1.95 charge. We you charged for this? I reached someone in India and asked to speak to someone else to verify. But I was told I was wasting their time, and they hung up on me. Thanks, Regina
