Using special characters (e.g. *, @, $, #) in your Wi-Fi password can sometimes create challenges during the initial setup of your Blink device. If you encounter any problems after confirming that your Wi-Fi password is correct, as outlined in the steps above, attempt the following troubleshooting steps:
- Temporarily change your Wi-Fi password: Temporarily change your Wi-Fi password, ensuring it doesn’t include any special characters.

If you change your Wi-Fi password at any point after the initial setup, you must also update the password in your Blink devices and any other devices that connect to your Wi-Fi network.
