Just curious. Have you always been with Rogers? It seems that many of us with this problem were with Shaw originally and the problem arose with the switch over.
So has anyone actually spoken with Shaw tech support? What’s their take on this issue?? I’m having the same issue with our blink sync module. We moved 3 weeks ago, left Telus as provider where the blink system worked……3 weeks on Shaw…..love the tech, the speed and so far the support…..have had a few issues getting some of our home smart devices connected, but Blink is the last hold out!!! Have tried everything……no luck. Guess I’ll talk to support tomorrow and see if they can help!!
Hi!! I had this exact problem…..but couldn’t find anyone who seemed to have identified the cause or a fix!! I was able to connect with Blink technical support who noticed my sync module was not running the current firmware level……
they provided the following instructions…..which I followed and my blink system is back online!!!! Hope this helps someone else.
Based on the issue that you are experiencing, we would suggest troubleshooting your SM (Sync Module) with the steps below:
- First, unplug the SM and wait 30 seconds.
- For this next step, you will need a pin or paperclip handy. While your SM is unplugged, press and hold down the reset button on the right side of the Sync Module, then plug it back into power without releasing the reset button.
- Continue holding that reset button until you see a flashing red light on the SM.
- Once you've seen the flashing red light, you can release the reset button.
- After resetting the SM, wait patiently (about a minute at the most) for the solid blue light to change back into a solid green blinking blue light pattern. This pattern means the firmware has been reset on the SM, and it is ready to reconnect to the Wi-Fi network.
- Tap on the Sync Module icon located at the bottom of the home page in the Blink app, then select the Change Wi-Fi Network option from the list displayed. Or, if your Sync Module has already been deleted from the app, go ahead and try re-adding it to your system.
I was so hopeful but alas this didn’t work. I reset it and got as far as “connecting to Blink servers” whereupon it told me that my Wi-Fi password was incorrect - just like before. Oh well.
Maybe I should buy a new Sync Module and return it if it does the same thing.
@DCSR1 -- since it is your WiFi router, experiment, by changing your router's WiFi password to "abcdefgh", and use that same password on your Blink, and then try to connect. If it now connects, change your router's WiFi password to something more "secure" (upper/lower case, numbers, special characters) to make it more difficult for "rogue" connection attempts to be received, and change the WiFi password on the Blink to the same password.
