How to Reconnect Your Shark IQ Robot to a New Wi-Fi Network Without Losing Maps

This guide explains how to connect your Shark IQ robot to a new Wi-Fi network while preserving your saved room maps and settings. Follow these steps, especially useful if you’ve changed your Wi-Fi router or password.


Steps to Reconnect:

  1. Put Shark IQ Robot in Wi-Fi Setup Mode

    • Press and hold both the Clean and Dock buttons simultaneously for 5–10 seconds.
    • The Wi-Fi light will start blinking when the robot is ready for setup.
  2. Open the SharkClean App

    • Do not attempt to reconnect the existing robot directly.
  3. Add As a New Robot in the App

    • Go to Settings and select Add a New Robot.
    • When prompted to name the new robot, use the exact same name as the previous robot (the one associated with your saved room maps).

    Tip: Using the same name links your new instance with previous map and room data.

  4. Complete Wi-Fi Setup

    • Follow in-app instructions to connect the robot to the new Wi-Fi network.
  5. Verify Restoration

    • After setup, your robot should retain:
      • Saved maps
      • Room names
      • Cleaning schedules

Notes

  • You do not have to remap your house.
  • All settings are preserved by assigning the robot the same name in the app.
