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.

1. Press NETWORK SETTINGS; this screen shows a graphical view of

buttons representing OPEN and SECURE wireless networks, along with

button for adding a network.

2. Select the access point that has already been established and connected.

When selecting the info icon, a screen will appear which will display an

option to forget the network and IP address assigned to the thermostat

by your router, sub-net mask, router, DNS and RSSI. If the RSSI signal

strength is anywhere between -9 to -69, then the signal strength is

sufficient. If outside this range, then either relocate the router closer to the

thermostat, add a repeater, or move the Smart Hub. Adjusting antenna on

router and/or Smart Hub may resolve the issue.
