Problem Description

Wyze error code 41 means network unreachable. Camera lost WiFi connection or cannot route traffic to Wyze servers.

Symptoms

  • Error code 41
  • Network unreachable message
  • Camera was working then stopped
  • All cameras same error
  • Internet works for other devices
  • Camera LED shows disconnected

Recognize these? Here's what usually causes it.

Common Causes

  • Router assigned new IP
  • DHCP lease expired
  • Router firewall blocking
  • ISP blocking Wyze
  • DNS resolution failing
  • Network config changed

Most fixes happen in the first 3 steps.

Warning

If recently updated router firmware or changed ISP, network settings may have changed causing error 41.

Step-by-Step Solution

1

Power Cycle Network

Unplug router and modem 2 minutes. Plug modem first, wait for stable lights. Plug router, wait 3 minutes. Then replug Wyze cameras.

2

Check IP Addressing

Error 41 occurs when camera loses IP. Log into router, check DHCP client list for Wyze camera. If not showing, reconnect to WiFi.

3

Change DNS Servers

Some ISPs block traffic causing error 41. In router settings, change DNS to Google (8.8.8.8) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1).

4

Check Firewall Rules

Wyze needs outbound ports 443 and 8443. Disable IoT blocking features in advanced routers.

5

Assign Static IP

Reserve static IP for each Wyze camera MAC in router DHCP. Ensures consistent network identity.

Quick Solutions

Restart router and cameras
Check DHCP settings
Release and renew IP
Change to public DNS
Check firewall
Assign static IP

Still having issues? This is usually the deeper cause below.

If the keypad rejects valid codes, a lockout timer may be running — five failed entries locks most keypads silently for 5–10 minutes.

Pro Tip

Error 41 on all cameras simultaneously usually indicates router or ISP issue, not camera problem.

Real-World Insight

This issue almost always looks more complex than it is — the majority of cases trace back to a single setting, a stale credential, or a default that shipped wrong.

What Usually Goes Wrong
  • Router assigned new IP
  • DHCP lease expired
  • Router firewall blocking
  • ISP blocking Wyze
  • DNS resolution failing
