I’m curious if your phone is losing connection with the Bridge, or if the Bridge is losing connection with the WiFi.

Some of us in the community have noticed [the WiFi channels your router is using](https://forum.bondhome.io/t/solved-bond-hub-wont-find-my-wifi-australian-wifi-channels-12-13-14/1850) are often involved in unreliable connections or setup issues.

But since you mention the phone is a 5 GHz connection, and Bridges only use 2.4 GHz, I’ve seen _some_ Android devices have trouble with various smart home devices bridging across the mixed mode networks (even if they’re on the same WiFi network & the channels for 2.4 and 5 GHz are named the same SSID) - never a Bond Bridge in my case, but it’s worth considering.

In the Bond app, if you are NOT in a device setup screen, scroll to the Bridge, tap it, then tap Advanced to expand additional information. Then tap the Network Info section and see if if says:  
Connection Type - WiFi  
Status - Connected to Cloud  
IP Address - x.x.x.x

If you see all that, you can try typing in the IP address into a browser on the phone or a computer (on the same network), and see if you get a screen asking for either the Bond 4-character setup PIN or the 16-character Account code.

Don’t forget there are options for official support in the app (under Help) or via email ([customerservice@olibra.io](mailto:customerservice@olibra.io)) which may lead to faster answers if we in the community can’t point you in the correct direction.
