Wifi is not connecting to with Blink Sync Module
Did you ever get this sorted? I have been searching for answers to this problem and keep getting told to follow this step or that step to reboot and resend but nothing works

Probably should point out that when connecting a new device to the network for the first time, I always place it in the same room as the RBR50 router. Once the device has connected successfully and appears to be working, it can then be relocated to a more desirable location. (in the case of the Blink sync module, it remains in the same room as the router and appears to have adequate coverage from that location. No point it putting it anywhere else.)
I’ve run into this before, and it’s really frustrating. A lot of the usual “reset and retry” steps don’t help when the Sync Module just refuses to connect. What finally worked for me was:
Making sure the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi band was enabled (Blink won’t connect to 5GHz).
Changing the Wi-Fi channel to something less crowded (like 1, 6, or 11).
Power-cycling the router and the Sync Module after making those changes.
If none of that works, sometimes deleting the Sync Module from the Blink app and re-adding it as a fresh setup does the trick.
Not sure if your issue is the same, but hopefully this helps a bit!
