It's just crazy to think that this problem actually exists. I had to change my wifi password. Now I have to go outside and climb ladders and reset all my cameras manually back to factory default settings and reset all the settings the way I had them before... I have to re-do all the motion settings, schedule settings, automations that I had set up. I have to do all of this for each camera. Crazy!

 @Solla-topee Is there an update for this issue? Is this issue on the backlog? When can we expect a solution?

It is quite frustrating that this is not an easier task on these devices. What is even more frustrating is that when I initially setup my cameras, I chose the option to "Remember Wifi" and so now that I have needed to change my Wifi connection, it is IMPOSSIBLE for me to setup the camera in the new network because it keeps reconnecting automatically to the old network. Even after factory rest, when I add the camera again, it never asks for me to pick the wireless connection, it just automatically reconnects to the old network. 

 

The only workaround is to temporarily disable my old wifi network, affecting all the other devices connected to it. 

 

There has to be a better way.
