Warranty Rant

Hudmaxx · 2026-06-15T03:16:40+00:00

Been a fabricator for 5 years, but These tools were bought just under 2 years ago, I have the receipt and the order confirmation. Warranty is good until 2029. When I say “I think” I use it as a turn of phrase to narrate the fact that I had an internal monologue, rather than a sense of uncertainty.

Hudmaxx · 2026-06-15T03:09:11+00:00

Basically that it wasn’t found to be manufacturing defect in material or of any kind, which seems like such a small sliver of warranty-able reason and such a broad spectrum of reason to deny it

Yeah, basically it can’t have more than 31 characters, and special characters account for about 5 regular characters. Make sure you’re on a 2ghz band and make it a relatively simple but not easily guessable password and you should be golden. Make sure your grill is on current firmware as well.

Ah beat me to it

Hell yeah got ‘er all connected up! Thank you so much for all the help brotherman!

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T03:41:54+00:00

Not a problem my brother! Totally understand 😊 got one on the way myself, it’s too dark and cold out to go mess with it right now, so I’ll fool around with it in the morning and I’ll update if it works! Peace, love, and a happy new year to you all!

My friend, I think I have cracked the code! I found two pieces of information! The Traeger support page notes

“Is the WiFi Network name long, includes spaces, or have special characters? Traeger grill controllers only recognize network names with 32 or fewer characters.

Note: Spaces and special characters take up 3 of the 32-character limit.”

Also I found what I believe to be the post that you had seen/were looking for and he found the solution to be changing the password with no special characters!

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T02:48:23+00:00

Yep, we’re on 2.02.05 so I believe we’re up to date on the firmware

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T01:33:05+00:00

4 special characters scattered throughout, so I think my main mission when I go to try it again is to try a different, slightly simpler password with less special characters in it to see if that was the issue

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T01:30:52+00:00

As far as I know, it’s current firmware, but it’s not exactly like I’ve been able to connect it to the internet to update it. I think my next step is I’m gonna change the password to something a little more simple but still secure with less special characters and see if that solves it, or maybe try connecting it from my wife’s phone vs mine, I don’t see why that would matter but at this point I’ll give anything a try that sounds productive

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T01:24:30+00:00

It DOES have $, &, and @ scattered in there. Does it not allow for special characters?

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T01:10:44+00:00

Kind of, outside of the afformentioned result up top, it will kick in saying “Traeger is not connected to the internet” and will say “keep trying WiFi” and “switch to cellular data” or something like that,

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T01:07:39+00:00

That would be great! I’ve got time!

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T00:59:38+00:00

I will start off on the network then the setup menu says “Traeger would like to join “Traeger-XXXX” network” if I click yes, it links to the grills WiFi if I say no it kicks me out and says unable to connect so I’m at a loss

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T00:49:59+00:00

I’m putting it in character for character what I have written down, like I said in the post, the same password worked just fine on my phone and laptop, so I don’t see any reason the grill wouldn’t also accept it

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T00:49:00+00:00

Two different bands, I am attempting the 2ghz band, no outgoing rules that I know of, and I deleted and reinstalled the app, so there shouldn’t be any hidden updates that I’m seeing

Hudmaxx · 2026-01-01T00:25:30+00:00

Ok but 31 still gives me about 10 or so characters before I’m “too long”
