Dealing With Low Wi-Fi Signal Strength - Hunter Hydrawire Owner's Manual

Dealing with Low Wi-Fi Signal
Strength
First, check your Wi-Fi signal strength by reading the tips in our article here
average home, you usually have to deal with three major sources of Wi-Fi signal
interference:
Wall and floor interference: Homes built with brick, concrete, or metal have the most
impact on Wi-Fi signal interference because the construction material can block off the
signals. Wood and glass can also interfere, but not as much.
Competing Wi-Fi network interference: If you live in a highly populated urban area,
you may experience a weak Wi-Fi signal due to a large number of competing signals in
your area.
Electronic interference: TVs, computers, mobile phones, microwaves, and other
electronic devices are present in most homes. Any type of electronic device can
interfere with your Wi-Fi signal.
These types of interference can disrupt your Hydrawise device. Here are some
troubleshooting tips to help solve the problem:
First, determine the Wi-Fi signal strength in the area where you want to mount the controller.
Test the signal using your smartphone or another Wi-Fi device to make sure the signal
is showing at least medium to high strength.
Make sure there are no metal or concrete objects that are in the direct line of sight between the
controller and your router/Wi-Fi device:
Do not place your controller inside a metal shed.
Do not place your controller in a basement.
Remove electronic devices located between the controller and the line of sight of your router.
If you can put a network access point or Wi-Fi extender near your controller, you can
establish a direct line of sight to the Wi-Fi source without interference.
