- Restart the purifier and your router
- Move the purifier closer to the router
- Confirm Wi‑Fi name and password
- Retry pairing via the AEG app
AEG AX91-604 error code The Air Purifier Wi-Fi symbol is flashing, cannot connect to the Wi-Fi network means the purifier is unable to establish or maintain a connection to your home Wi‑Fi. This can occur during initial setup, after a router change, or when temporary network interruptions, incorrect credentials, or Wi‑Fi band/incompatibility prevent communication between the AX91-604 and AEG cloud services.
- Wi‑Fi symbol on the purifier blinks continuously or flashes instead of staying solid.
- The purifier functions locally (fan runs) but remote control via the AEG app fails or shows as offline.
- App reports setup/connection failed or the device cannot be found during pairing.
- Router is out of range or strong interference from other wireless devices.
- Router is set to 5 GHz only or has 2.4 GHz disabled (AX91-604 requires 2.4 GHz for many setups).
- Incorrect Wi‑Fi password, hidden SSID, or MAC filtering blocking the purifier.
- Temporary router or internet outage interrupting cloud authentication.
- Confirm router settings (2.4 GHz and security)
- Disable advanced protections temporarily
- Check DHCP and IP limits
- Test with a mobile hotspot
| Wi‑Fi band | Ensure the router broadcasts a 2.4 GHz SSID and connect the purifier to it | Purifier connects and Wi‑Fi symbol becomes solid |
| Password/SSID | Verify SSID and password on your phone and re-enter them in the app | App confirms successful pairing |
| Range/interference | Move purifier close to router and remove large metal objects between them | Connection stabilises; test at normal location afterwards |
- Trying to connect to the router's 5 GHz network instead of 2.4 GHz.
- Entering the Wi‑Fi password incorrectly (watch for special characters/case).
- Not power-cycling the router and purifier during setup, which can leave the previous failed state active.
- Do not factory-reset the purifier until you have tried basic network and app troubleshooting (it erases settings).
- Do not change router admin credentials or advanced firewall settings unless you understand the changes — note settings before altering them.
- Always unplug the purifier before moving it large distances or inspecting internal components (do not open the unit).
- When changing router settings, avoid disabling security permanently; use temporary changes for testing only.
If you have completed the steps above (router power-cycle, confirm 2.4 GHz, verify password, move device close, and tested with a hotspot) and the AX91-604 still flashes the Wi‑Fi symbol or cannot pair, contact AEG support. Provide the purifier model (AX91-604), a description of the steps you tried, your router model, and whether the device worked previously. Use the official support article or support channels to escalate the issue.
- Keep router firmware up to date and use a stable 2.4 GHz SSID for smart devices.
- Avoid placing the purifier where metal objects, thick walls, or microwaves can cause interference.
- Record router settings and Wi‑Fi credentials so reconfiguration after router replacements is quicker.
Does the AX91-604 support 5 GHz Wi‑Fi?
I reset the purifier; do I need to do anything special for Wi‑Fi setup?
Can I use a mobile hotspot to connect the purifier permanently?
