If you’re a Traeger owner, you know that one of the best things about these grills is that they can be controlled remotely using Wi-Fi. However, many people find that their Traegers are not connecting to Wi-Fi correctly. Many issues can cause this, but we will go through each one and help you troubleshoot each one so you can get back to doing what you do best: grilling and cooking outdoors!
Traeger Stuck on Checking Wi-Fi Connection
One common problem is that the Traeger gets stuck on checking the Wi-Fi connection. This can be caused by several things, but usually, because the network name or password is incorrect. Make sure you input the correct information for your network and try again.
Why Won’t My Traeger Connect to Wi-Fi?
If your Traeger isn’t connecting to Wi-Fi, you can do a few things to troubleshoot the issue.
First, ensure that your grill is turned on and that the Wi-Fi antenna is pointed in the right direction. If it is still not connecting, try restarting your router and grill. If that doesn’t work, you may need to call Traeger customer service for help.
How Do I Reconnect My Traeger to Wi-Fi?
Many people do not know this, but Traegers work off of Wi-Fi. This means that they will not work correctly if no Wi-Fi is available. For example, if you are camping and do not have access to Wi-Fi, your Traeger will not work.
This can be a problem for people who like to use their Traeger outdoors. Thankfully, there are a few ways to reconnect your Traeger to Wi-Fi.
First, make sure that your Traeger is turned on and plugged in the power cord. Next, check to see if the Wi-Fi light is on. If it is not, press the power button to turn it on.
Then, hold down the Wi-Fi button for 10 seconds until the light starts flashing. Once it starts flashing, let go of the control and wait for the grill to connect to the network. If it does not connect, try restarting your router. If that still does not work, reach out to Traeger customer service for help.
How Do I Connect Traeger to a New Wi-Fi?
Traeger grills are notorious for their ability to turn any kind of meat into a succulent masterpiece, be it steak, chicken, or pork. It’s not uncommon for people to rely on their Traegers to help cook their food, especially when the weather is less than desirable.
However, many people don’t realize that for these grills to work correctly, you need to be connected to Wi-Fi.
Now, if you’re like most people and you’ve just moved into a new place, your Traeger grill might not be able to connect to the Wi-Fi there. In this case, all you need to do is follow a few simple steps to get your grill up and running again.
The first thing you’re going to want to do is find the manual for your grill. This can usually be found online by searching for the model number of your grill. Once you have the manual, you’ll need to locate the section that tells you how to connect your grill to Wi-Fi. It should look something like this:
Once you’ve found the section in your manual, follow the instructions carefully. If everything goes smoothly, you should be cooking on your Traeger in no time! You’ll most likely need to type in your Wi-Fi password for your grill to connect.
However, if you’re having trouble connecting your Traeger to Wi-Fi, you can do a few things. First, try restarting your router. This might seem like a simple solution, but it often does the trick. If that doesn’t work, you might consider upgrading your router.
Finally, if all else fails, you can always call Traeger customer service, and they’ll be more than happy to help you out. They’re available Monday through Friday from 8 am to 5 pm PST. So, if you’re having trouble connecting your Traeger to Wi-Fi, don’t worry! There are plenty of ways to get it up and run again.
How Do I Reset My Traeger Wi-Fi?
There are a few different ways that you can reset your Traeger Wi-Fi. The first way is to hold down the power button until the grill turns off. Once it’s turned off, wait for a few minutes and turn it back on.
Once it’s turned on, hold down the Wi-Fi button for 10 seconds until the light starts flashing. Once it starts flashing, let go of the button and wait for the grill to connect to the network.
The second way to reset your Traeger Wi-Fi is by using the Traeger app. Open up the app and go to the settings. From there, find the network and select to forget the network. After that, open up the app again and select to add a new network. Type in your network name and password and select connect. This will bring you to the Wi-Fi setup page.
