Some Tasmota devices also have issues with OFDMA (WiFi 6) enabled on the 2.4GHz band. Disabling OFDMA can solve problems with WiFi failing to connect.

Some Wi-Fi routers employ **band steering**. Band steering works by responding only to 5 GHz association requests and not the 2.4 GHz requests, which interferes with Tasmota devices which only support 2.4 GHz. Disabling band steering may resolve connectivity issues.

### I entered wrong Wi-Fi information
If you have a device with a button and the button is configured as a component in the Tasmota settings (e.g., GPIO0 - Button1), you can try pressing the button to force the device into [Wi-Fi configuration mode](Buttons-and-Switches#multi-press-functions) with 4 short presses of the button. **Note:** Since version 8.3.0 this requires 6 short presses instead.
