Funny how a company sells SO many of these at pretty expensive prices, yet the guts of their technology is SO old and cheap that everyone has problems with this. If they would have updated a wifi adapter to an AC or AX newer IEEE 801.x technology NONE of us would be having these issues. SHAME, I am about to send mine back for refund.

I was having the same problem. After I went into the Roomba app settings, then permissions, then enabled location to "all the time." Fixed the problem.

Didn't work for me. My app permissions already had Locations allowed (my phone doesn't have an 'all the time' option). Strangely, if I start the Roomba manually while I have the app open, it will show 'vacuuming', but when it returns to base the wi-fi goes off again and I don't even get the notification.

Roomba with app from the 21st century vs. Steam engine train sound in background from the 19th century. I hope the train wins.

My case got solved, I have contacted the iRobot Support and this is what they recommended me to do (I have an iOS): - Get the robot off it’s charging base - In case if the lights are on, press the Clean button for a couple of seconds until they turn off - Press and hold Clean button for 15 seconds until it resets - Restart both your router and your phone Please make sure that your router is compatible with iRobot too. Worked wonders when I lost all hope. I must add that I have tried absolutely everything: reprogramming the router to IVp4, adding a 2.4GHz line, trying on an Android, downloading the old version of iRobot app on an Android, trying on an old iPad, restarting everything and starting over, trying to “debug” all the possible bugs. None of that worked and the only thing that helped was the instruction above. Also, it didn’t work instantly, I had to reconnect twice without a need to restart anything. Now my roomba is up and running. Hope it helps.
