16. I can’t connect to my Petcube / Petcube is offline in the app
If you cannot connect to your Petcube from your mobile phone, try the following:
- Make sure that the LED light on the front of your Petcube is steady white. If the LED
light on the front of your Petcube isn’t steady white, see ‘LED light notifications’ to

In most cases rebooting the Petcube by unplugging and plugging it back in should

1. Your Petcube needs a firmware update. To get the most recent firmware update,
contact our support team at support@petcube.com

network restriction issue.
3. This issue may occur if you’re using a non-original or a less powerful A/C adapter.
Please make sure to use only 5V/2A power adapters.

6. Keep in mind that some connection issues may be caused by poor Wi-Fi signal,
which can depend on the router range, distance to the router and obstacles between
Petcube and router, such as walls or radio frequency interferences. Here are a few
