In principle, the robot can also be operated without Wi-Fi, but many smart functions are then not available. It works perfectly without Wi-Fi, but an internet connection is required for functions such as loading and using a floor plan via the app.

This means that you cannot load the floor plan onto the robot without Wi-Fi, as the map is created and managed via the Roborock app, which requires a Wi-Fi connection. Without Wi-Fi, you can only start the robot in standard cleaning mode using the physical buttons, but you cannot use the map function or scheduled cleanings.
