Wyze Camera Firmware Update Stuck at 90%: How to Fix It

Q: Why does my Wyze camera firmware update keep getting stuck at 90%?

Firmware updates typically stick at 90% due to weak Wi-Fi signal strength or network instability. The camera downloads most of the update but can't complete the final verification step when the connection is poor.

Q: How long should a Wyze camera firmware update take?

Normal Wyze camera firmware updates take 5-10 minutes with a strong Wi-Fi connection. If it takes longer than 15 minutes or gets stuck, there's likely a connectivity issue that needs addressing.

Q: Can I use my Wyze camera while the firmware is stuck at 90%?

No, you should not use the camera while firmware is stuck at 90%. The camera is in an unstable state and needs to complete or restart the update process before normal operation can resume.

Q: Will I lose my Wyze camera settings if the firmware update fails?

Usually no - camera settings are preserved even if firmware updates fail. However, it's good practice to note your important settings like motion detection zones before updating, just in case a factory reset becomes necessary.

Q: What if my Wyze camera won't turn on after a failed firmware update?

If your camera won't power on after a failed update, try holding the setup button for 20 seconds while plugged in to attempt a recovery. If this doesn't work, contact Wyze support as the camera may need replacement.

Abstract

When your Wyze camera's firmware update gets stuck at 90%, it typically means the download failed due to an unstable Wi-Fi connection. This common issue can be resolved by strengthening your network signal and following a few troubleshooting steps to complete the update successfully.
