If your Gosund smart plug keeps disconnecting from Wi-Fi, you’re not alone. Frequent disconnections are a known issue for many users, especially in homes with complex network setups or multiple smart devices. Here are five reliable fixes to help stabilise your Gosund plug and keep it online.
1. Use a 2.4GHz Wi-Fi Network Only
Gosund plugs don’t support 5GHz Wi-Fi. Make sure your mobile device and the plug are on a 2.4GHz network during setup and daily use. Dual-band routers should have separate SSIDs for each band.
2. Disable Power-Saving Settings on Your Router
Some routers have power-saving or ‘eco’ modes that reduce Wi-Fi strength or disconnect idle devices. Disable these settings in your router admin panel to prevent unexpected drop-offs.
3. Update the Gosund App and Firmware
Outdated firmware or app versions can lead to instability. Open the Gosund app and check for any available device updates. Install them and reboot the plug if necessary.
4. Reposition the Plug for Better Signal
Wi-Fi signal strength matters. Try plugging your Gosund smart plug closer to your router or access point. Avoid interference from microwaves, thick walls, or cordless phones.
5. Perform a Factory Reset and Reconnect
As a last resort, hold the plug’s button for 5–10 seconds to perform a factory reset. Then reconnect it using the Gosund app as if it were new.
Wi-Fi instability can be frustrating, especially when it affects automation or voice control. These fixes should resolve most disconnection problems with Gosund smart plugs. If issues continue, consider upgrading your router or using a dedicated 2.4GHz network for smart devices.
