What I’d like to see in these videos is how to reconnect to wifi after router changes/replacement etc. Your app does not provide help with any wifi issues/settings for the Shark yet there’s a very simple way on how to do it without losing any of your previous settings. “Add a new Robot” and name it exactly the same name as previous.” Not sure if it’s a flaw in the app but it works and saves us a lot of time.

This is a VERY unfriendly connection operation and has several bugs. I have on many occasions taken 4 hours out of my day to connect our robot up to the app. The connectivity of the robot to the wI-fi is horrible and I still cannot figure out what I did correctly when it works. Yes, I have re-downloaded the app, rebooted everything, and made sure all connections are great. There is no rhyme nor reason as to why it drops off the network other than a faulty network card in the unit itself. The robot sits 15 feet away from the router. We are very displeased with a robot that when it does work, does a great job. (I bought the RV_1000A for my wife for Xmas and now we will probably get rid of it and go for an IRobot model)

[@arleneroper5578]

Found this video while researching connectivity issues. Got the vacuum (AI RV 2500 series)in July and it initially was working great! Loved it! Then about a month ago it began disconnecting itself everyday. We have the router close by along with google Wi-Fi mesh systems in nearly every room to maintain good Wi-Fi connectivity throughout my home. The Wi-Fi light on the computer is not lit up in red but according to the app it is disconnected. So everyday I have reboot the vacuum (press clean button for 10 seconds) then have to add a robot on the app to get it to work. I guess I need to call someone at shark.

[@saberfire2008]

Finally got my Wifi to work with Shark after about 8 hours of pulling my hair out. This is 100% how I made it work on my Android. I made it work by downloading the Sharkclean app on a Apple phone and following the instructions to connect to my WiFi. Once the connection was established with the Apple phone I then logged into the Sharkclean app on my Android and then was able communicate with the Shark Device through my Android. The steps taken to connect to my WiFi were basically the same steps in both Apple & Android only Apple was able to successfully connect while Android never would. So very extremely frustrating because it should take minutes to establish a connection not hours and should work on all operating systems. Shark please do better.

Just bought our first Shark robot and was excited about it. I was replacing a Rumba that died after 6yrs of great use. 3-4 cleaning times/wk (cats in the house). I was done setting up the new Shark, creating rooms, naming it, setting up schedules, creating a map of my house for cleaning, etc. I went to run it to start cleaning and it gave me a message that it was disconnected. After almost an hour of trying to figure it out, I found this video and all the comments below. Tried reconnecting a couple of times with no luck. Too bad. I'm not doing this. It's going back to Costco and I'm buying another Rumba. Never had any connectivity issues with Rumba. Kind of disappointed as I liked a couple of the features Shark has that the Rumba I had before did not. Seems like they haven't fixed this issue in years. Must not be high on their priority list.

I replaced my router and the wifi has a new name and password but your app won't let me change any settings or delete the existing bot settings because it's not on wifi. I can't factory reset, I can't change wifi settings, I just can't do anything. I've registered my product several times in the app but your web page still shows I have no registered device and I've had it for almost a year. I reset the app but when I log back in it just imports the same settings again from your servers that say I don't even own a device. Your app leaves a lot to be desired in some areas.

I think this is the same model as I have. Do you have a "Max" button... if so, press "Dock" & "Max" instead of "Clean" ... The instructions were definitely wrong on mine and this worked for me... but don't get too excited as you likely won't be able to connect to your wifi after this.

In November 2021 we purchased a basic (dumb) IRobot for upstairs and the much more expensive Shark AI Robot self-empty vacuum (RV251UPM6/AV2501AE) for downstairs. In 14 months, the "dumb" robot which is located much farther from our router has not once lost a wi-fi connection. We switched routers today and it reconnected seamlessly. The Shark is a whole different story. It was a pain at the initial connection but worked fine for several months and then dropped the wi-fi connection. After re-booting multiple times we finally got it to work again (I still don't know what I did to make it work.), only to have it drop it's wi-fi connection again. We tried again and again and then tried customer support. That was even more frustrating than the unit itself. The unit works by manually pressing the clean and dock buttons but forget using your phone. When you click on settings on the app you just watch the little circle go round and round forever. We thought the new router might help. Nope. We uninstalled and re-installed the app thinking that might help. Nope again. It does clean okay with the original mapping, and empties fine, but you can't change anything and you can't use it's alleged wi-fi option. It doesn't help that the instructions reference things like the on/off button which the unit doesn't have. (I finally read a comment on line that you have to hold the clean button down for 10 seconds to turn it off .... no thanks to shark.) Based on numerous comments on line the wi-fi connection is a common problem. My 3-year warranty is worthless. Never a Shark again.

I FIGURED IT OUT!!!! Okay, so when you first try to set up the app, and it takes you to a screen where you select the Shark product to connect to, don't select your vacuum yet. You have to go into your wi-fi settings, select the robot (it's there), and then go back to the app and select the robot in the app. Then it will connect to the robot, and then you will be asked for your wi-fi credentials and it will connect to your wi-fi. If you enter your info wrong, you will most likely not get the screen again where you can select the robot, and you'll have to sign out of the app, force stop it, and turn the vacuum off for 10 seconds and back on in order to try it all again. So much fun, no?

Sooo...just got as a present and was excited to set up. After 1 hour of trying to set up the vacuum to WiFi and failing after power resets, phone restart, changing router settings, I am not wasting another minute on this thing. Model series RV700 😡

[@SharkHome]

We're very sorry for any confusion on this, Mike. The RV700 series isn't compatible with the app.

[@mikkyberg]

@@SharkHome I don't get it - why is the RV700 series on the app to select the type of vacuum to set up? Our model was specifically the RV754CA, there was no option for RV750 series or our model specifically, so I assumed the RV700 series covers my model as it is WiFi compatible. It even created its own network and connected to my phone quickly, just not our home WiFi

[@jakewagner1296]

I have now bought two shark vacuums this week because the first would kept saying the password is incorrect… it is not. I’ve redone my WiFi twice now creating different names and passwords and the vacuum wouldn’t connect. I thought it might be the vacuum, so I “upgraded” to a better model thinking surely this wouldn’t be an issue with the newest model… my robot is sitting on the floor just saying “incorrect wireless password”. I can’t spend another 4 hours trying to figure out these connection issues. Might also be returning a second shark vacuum and going with another brand.

But now it has to clean the whole house instead of just spot clean like I wanted. Cuz I can’t have that option right now of choosing what room to clean cuz this app is being ridiculous. And my internet is fine and working and it works great on my phone but can’t say the same about the shark app connecting to the vacuum. And I have a blue wifi icon that comes on and goes off and comes back on. I have no red icons. And now I can’t even get into my account. This is sharks problem. Not my vacuum or WiFi’s problem. I have Xfinity for crying out loud-the best internet there is. Sorry for my rant.

I don't know if this will work for anyone else but it has worked for me. Try placing your phone directly on top of the shark and then try pairing your device with it. The connection of the shark is pretty weak to the point you have to place your device on top of the vacuum. You only have to do this one time if you're only trying to pair a new vacuum. It'll take some attempts but that's how I got further into the process and that's how I got mine to work, and then after the set up you don't have to keep your phone on the vacuum because it will connect with your app via wifi. If anyone else is wondering as well, it's not your device that's the problem it's the vacuum connection, I have an S20 Ultra and it still struggled to connect to the shark.

[@rockymountain2590]

OMG it's been a year since you posted this and I just did this today to pair up my vacuum. So basically, Shark hasn't fixed this problem in over a year.

[@WyoStory]

My problem is adding the robot to the app, but all I can find online are issues connecting to WiFi. That is not an issue for me, but rather the app constantly shows “Add A Robot”, and when I click on that it says you haven’t connect a robot. But that’s what I am trying to do from the “Add A Robot” option! Just going in circles. Sheesh.....will trying rebooting the ‘bot and see if that does anything.

Thanks. I got it work finally. I deleted the app, then reinstalled it. Once it came to the “Add A Robot” part it kept showing “Continue” options, so I kept tapping “Continue” and it eventually connected!

IF YOU HAVE AN ANDROID: Tried to connect for a week, nothing. Would connect to the wifi, even show up on connected devices on my wifi. Had to get a friend with an iPhone to come over and set it up for me. Once he set it up, I was able to connect just fine with my android.

[@SharkHome]

We're very sorry to hear about your experience, Austin. We're happy to hear you were able to get your robot connected.

[@JWarrenPhilly]

@@SharkHome This would be a hint to have the software developers see what Android update has caused issues with the app functioning with the robot using logs and then fix it with an update to the app.... you know, that kind of thing.

My grandmother didn't get the app to connect to her robot and now the robot is lost. What should I do?

[@SharkHome]

[@silverheart5630]

@@SharkHome We don't think it was stolen it just simply got lost somewhere in the house. Is there a way to get it to make some kinda sound without the robot? Like from the dock?

[@SharkHome]

Hey there, The unit won't make any noise if there is no battery, at this point, there is no option to make the unit loud if is off or without battery.

My Shark has disconnected every day since we received it 6 days ago. We have a Netgear Orbi Mesh system. Between the constant connection issues and the robot's inability to map our house after 10-12 runs, we're considering returning it.

Hi, thanks for contacting Shark Cleaning. We will be glad to assist you. Our units can be registered only one time and the robot will only be connected to the account registered. Therefore, you can use only one account per robot.

Came here trying to figure out why my vacuum is constantly losing connectivity. The only way to get it reconnected is to basically reset EVERYTHING or I will get an incorrect password error only to have to do it all over again a later. Anybody have suggestions of different brands they’ve had success with?

Hey Everyone. To reconnect the shark to a new Wi-Fi. Add a new robot in settings and name the new robot the same name as the old robot you’re trying to connect to the Wi-Fi. This will keep all your old Room settings.

I try that but dam app can't find my wifi it say find a wifi below to connect to your robot I keep getting searching nothing shows up I got the shark to connect to app but app won't let me pick a wifi..

I’ve got two 1100s that are broken now simply because we purchased a new router. I’ve spent literally hours trying to get them set up. The app will not connect so how do you factory reset?? Really stupid. Wasted money. This experience has ruined the shark brand for me.

[@mikewilloughby5448]

Don’t bother giving me a customer service phone number. I’ve tried to call 3 times and they never answer. Plus you have to be right there by your machine and you have to have an hour or more of your time. Only to not get anywhere.

I give up. 45 minutes on the phone with Support when I brought my Shark home from Sam's Club only to have them walk me trough connecting the vacuum to my phone, putting in my wifi password and telling me to leave it alone for 48 hours (!) and it would connect and I would be contacted. 48 hours later, no connection, no contact. I'm sick of fighting with this; the device is connected to my wifi (I can see it as a connected device on my router's network map) but the app won't connect to it. So back into the box it goes and back to Sam's with it.
