Wyze error code 90 indicates the inability of the Wyze camera to reach its streaming servers. This is due to no internet access or interference in the network. This is a very common error with an option to recheck the internet right underneath the error message.
Several users have faced this issue with different Wyze camera devices, such as Wyze Cam Pan v1/v2, Wyze Cam Outdoor, Wyze Cam v1/v2/v3, and Wyze Video Doorbell.

- An overloaded or unstable network can repeatedly cause this problem. Make sure you check the stability of your internet connection.
- This issue can also occur if the Router’s firewall blocks communication of Wyze camera devices with the streaming servers.
- A faulty adapter or cable can also cause this problem.
Verified Fixes
We recommend following some basic troubleshooting tips before moving on to advanced solutions.
Basic Troubleshooting Tips
- Remove the SD card from your Wyze camera device and check if it works.
- If removing the SD card doesn’t work, we recommend using a different adapter and power cable. Even if you have a third-party adapter and power cable, we recommend trying that out.
- If the issue persists, you can power cycle your Wyze camera device as mentioned on the Wyze support site. Power cycling means disconnecting the power source from your device for some time (15-30 seconds) and plugging it again.
- If power cycling doesn’t work, you can reset your Wyze device. However, the resetting procedure is different for each Wyze camera device. Use the following table to apply the resetting steps according to your device type:
| DEVICE-TYPE | RESETTING STEPS |
| Wyze Cam and Wyze Cam Pan |

| Wyze Video Doorbell and Wyze Video Doorbell Pro |

Important: You can’t reset the Wyze Cam Outdoor because there is no option of reset for that device
Changing the Wi-Fi Channel
Wyze camera devices work with the 2.4Ghz frequency. But compared to the 5Ghz frequency, 2.4Ghz is more vulnerable to nearby interference. That is why your Wyze camera is facing difficulties communicating with the internet and router because of nearby interference.
We recommend switching your Wi-Fi network to non-overlapping channels, such as channels 1, 6, or 11. Although these channels have co-channel interference, it’s a better choice than dealing with adjacent-channel interference of other options.
- First of all, open ‘Command Prompt’ on your PC and type the following command:
ipconfig
- Once you’ve executed the command, you can scroll down to find the entry named ‘Default Gateway’ because this is the IP address of your router.
Finding the router’s IP address through PC - Now, open any browser on your computer and type your router’s IP address in the search bar, and hit the ‘Enter’ key.
Entering the default gateway in browser and hitting the ‘Enter’ key - Once you are on the login page, enter your router’s credentials and click on the ‘Log In’ button.
Entering the credentials of Wi-Fi router and clicking on the ‘Log In’ button
Note: If you don’t know the credentials of your router, you can check the back of your router and pick the entries labeled as ‘username’ and ‘password’
- After entering the credentials, you will get inside the router’s configurations page.
Note: The UI of the router’s configuration page varies from router to router. So, we will perform the operations according to our router’s page and, you can find the same settings in your case.
- Click on the ‘Advanced’ tab first.
Clicking on the ‘Advanced’ tab in router’s settings home page - Then, expand the ‘WLAN’ section and click on the ‘WLAN Advanced’ option.
Switching to the ‘WLAN’ tab, then clicking on the ‘WLAN Advanced’ option - Now, change the value against the ‘Channel’ option to ‘1’ or ‘6’ or ‘11’ and apply the settings.

Adding Another Wireless Access Point
Sometimes, when your Wyze camera device has a low wireless signal strength issue, you will face the 90 error code. In this case, we recommend adding another wireless access point in your shed.
You can also purchase cheap Wi-Fi extenders from Amazon. These are USB-like devices and can be plugged in any power outlet closer to the location of your Wyze device. This will re-transmit the wireless signals.
