Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection
The following terminology is used in this troubleshooting section:
•
Received
Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). This indicates the signal strength
of the Wi-Fi router being received by the scanning device (i.e., smart phone).
So the higher the RSSI number (or less negative in some devices), the
stronger the signal.
• Wireless networks supported by this system are:
»
802.11b is 2.4Ghz band (max 11 Mbit/s)
»
802.11g is 2.4Ghz band (max 54 Mbit/s)
»
802.11n is 2.4Ghz band (max 130 Mbit/s)
• Internet Protocol Address (IP address). This is an address assigned by your
home router for each network device (e.g., computer, printer, thermostat).
Electromagnetic Interference Causing Poor Connectivity
: Locate the
smart hub and router away from other devices that could possibility interfere
with wireless communications. Some examples of other devices that could
interfere are:
•
Microwave ovens
• Wireless cameras
• Portable phones and bases
• Baby monitors
• Wireless speakers
•
Bluetooth devices
• Garage door openers
•
Neighbor’s wireless devices
To eliminate a possible source of interference, temporally disable any devices
and see if Wi-Fi performance has improved.
Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)
The ideal signal strength range for the thermostat is -1 to -69 RSSI. The signal
strength can be viewed from the thermostat interface.
