Setting Up Wi--Fi and Obtaining a Registration Code
The Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat uses your home Wi--Fi network to
connect to the Internet. First, enable Wi--Fi on the Comfort Series Wi--Fi
Thermostat (see instructions to the right).
The Comfort Series Wi--Fi Thermostat will display a list of available
networks, along with an indication of the signal strength (the more bars,
the better) and whether encryption is used.
If your home network is not listed, or if the signal strength is very low,
try adjusting the antenna on your wireless router. If that doesn’t improve
the signal, try moving your router closer to the Comfort Series Wi--Fi
Thermostat.
