Device was previously connected to a different wifi network, but now, it will not connect at all. On the device itself, the wifi symbol flashes quickly, phone is connected to 2.4Ghz, device and phone both next to the router, yet inkbird Pro app cannot locate the device.

I also cannot get the device to turn on slow blink mode. Tried pressing 3x and 3x again and waiting, and it just keeps blinking quickly.

Please help!

I’ve tried with both apps and multiple devices. I’ve read through every suggestion in the message board and have not been able to get it to connect.
