After installing 4G module, no wifi found on Simplisafe
Pretty much that, I think this is v2 version, anyway I got 4G module, instructions said to forget WIFI, remove power supply and batteries and install. I did all that, but now it can't find wifi network 10 ft away. I disabled 5ghz network on router, no luck. powered down wifi router, and simplisafe module and still no connection.

Hi jack_d2e4e7,
Yes, you'd want to disable WiFi temporarily so you could test that your Base Station's cell connection is working properly. But otherwise, installing the new cell module shouldn't be affecting the WiFi connection.
We should step back a bit to troubleshoot. Are you attempting to connect your system to WiFi through the Keypad or the smartphone app? Are you seeing any specific error messages?

I am having this same issue. Is there any help/guidance someone can give me? I am attempting to access wifi through keypad. I can't access my system through my computer, it time's out.

I’m having the same issue. Keypad says Searching for Wi-Fi networks but never finds or connects.

Thank you! Unplugging, removing battery, plugging back allowed me to find WiFi. After, I put battery back in and all seems good now. Much appreciated.

@davey_d I just installed the new hardware, and for the first time I am not happy with this company. First, it takes real muscle to take the top part of the tower off. Second, a set of small screwdrivers is needed to install the hardware, and that is something most people do not have (fortunately, I do). Third, the screw to remove the old hardware is a b--ch, and easily stripped. Finally, connecting to WiFi requires a search if one doesn't care to reset the router.
Bottom line: People should be told in advance what to expect. I imagine there is a lot of folks out there cursing SimpliSafe's name.
