My hydros device is not wanting to reconnect to my wifi. I have fiber and it’s good wifi. Why isn’t it working? My alk has dropped cause my minnow doesn’t want to connect
 
What type of network? I believe Hydros only connects via 2.4 GHz. I had mine on a mesh network & I had connectivity issues even when specifically configuring my router to keep it on the 2.4

I ended up putting it (& a bunch of other IOT devices) on a dedicated 2.4GHz network & it's been much more stable.
 
+1 on contacting hydros support. Absolutely fantastic.
 
Did you reboot (unplug count to 10 and plug in)? I find the hydros needs a reboot every couple of months or else it disconnects.
 
Assuming the Minnow is your only device, or do you have a collective set up?

2.4ghz network is the only network it can connect to, make sure you have different names/passwords if you’re WiFi is setup as both 2.4/5ghz.

Reboot router and also unplug your devices from power.

Contact support.
