Tips that can help you resolve wallet connectivity issues
Here are the easy tips that you may follow if you wish to re-establish the connectivity between your Trezor device and your hot wallet:
- The primary thing that you need to be sure of is that the version of the firmware you are using for your Trezor device is updated
- Apart from that, the hot wallet that you are using has to be of the latest version
- While connecting the two wallets, you need to make sure that you have Trezor Bridge installed on your device. Once you have successfully installed Trezor Bridge, you will see a message on your screen such as "Trezord." However, if you do not see it, you need to install Trezor from the scratch

- You should also clear your browser cache and cookies and ensure that the web browser you are using is up-to-date
- If you have enabled a VPN service or a firewall on your device, then you need to disable them to ensure the smooth functioning of these wallets
- Don't try to use multiple browsers or apps with Trezor wallet at the same time as it could lead to clashing of the programs
