Wi-Fi Connection

This is for connecting the thermostat to a secure home wireless network.
NOTE: A router with Apple Bonjour
Check the router functions if the smart hub does not connect. Apple
Bonjour is an implementation of zero-configuration networking
(Zeroconf), a group of technologies that includes service discovery,
address assignment, and host name resolution.
NOTE: Never use a home guest account. Never use an open router connection
(non-secure). Always use a secure connection physically located in
the home where the thermostat is located.

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi Connection
The following terminology is used in this troubleshooting section:
• Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI). This is an indication of the
signal strength of the Wi-Fi router being received by the scanning device
(i.e., smart phone). Therefore, 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:
