Identify the Issue
- If your Belkin Wemo device is stuck on firmware update, the first step is to determine whether it's a temporary connection issue or a persistent firmware glitch.
- Explore if other devices connected to the same network are experiencing similar issues, as this could indicate a network problem.
Check Internet Connectivity
- Ensure your device has a stable internet connection. Unplug your router, wait for about 10 seconds, then plug it back in to reset the network.
- Try connecting a different device to the same network to confirm your internet is working correctly.
Restart the Wemo Device
- Unplug the Wemo device from the power source. Wait for about 5-10 seconds before plugging it back in.
- Allow the device to reboot completely before checking if the firmware update continues.
Reset the Wemo Device
- If a simple restart doesn't work, you may need to perform a factory reset. Find the Reset button on the device.
- Press and hold the Reset button for about 10 seconds until the light on the device starts blinking rapidly.
Reinstall Wemo App
- Uninstall the Wemo app from your smartphone or tablet.
- Go to the App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android) and download the latest version of the Wemo app.
- Reinstall and open the Wemo app to reconnect and manage your device.
Perform Manual Firmware Update
- Visit the Belkin support website to check if there's a new firmware version available for your specific Wemo device.
- Follow the instructions provided on the website to manually update the firmware, usually by connecting the device to a computer via USB.
