Advanced Wi‐Fi Router Guidance Please see the below the wireless frequencies that are typically available in your home, in order to connect your Solus appliance, you will need to choose frequency number 1. The Tuya app will not work on frequencies 2 & 3. Typically, most routers will configure to the set appliance frequency. Your network provider will be able to tell you if your router setting is compatible. 2.4 GHz ‐ This frequency can provide a greater range at slower speeds 5 GHz ‐ This frequency can provide a greater speed, but at a reduced range 6 GHz ‐ This is a new frequency, and it can provide greater speeds, but at a reduced range The range of wireless transmissions can reduce at high frequencies, because at those levels they do encounter difficulties when trying to penetrate through solid objects, these objects can be structural, or general building fabrics, such as metal framework, walls & floors. For the best possible connection to your Solus appliance, the location of your wireless router in relation to your appliance is key: If there are certain areas of your home where you find your signal drops, it may be due to a blockage. Large objects can often obstruct or interfere with a wireless connection, so it's best to keep your router off the ground and away from larger items. Steer clear from putting your router behind the sofa, inside a cabinet or behind a door ‐ although it looks tidy, if you are experiencing an issue this could be the cause a problem.

Tips and advice: If the appliance is installed out of the range of your wireless network, the Wi‐Fi signal will not be detected by the appliance. It may be too far away from your router. You may need to purchase a signal booster to extend the range of your home network. You can purchase a Wi Fi booster form any computer store, online or an electrical retailer. How do I know if my Wi‐Fi signal is strong enough or if the appliance is out of range? Simply stand in front of the appliance holding the device in close proximity to the control panel, you will find this on the front of the appliance. By using an existing device, that is already connected to the wireless network, this could be a phone or tablet, and then see if the Wi‐Fi indicator shows that you have signal? If the signal strength is not full, it may indicate connectivity issue. If they are greyed out or only 1 or 2 bars are showing, then the signal strength of your home network will need boosting, in order for your Tuya app to control the appliance. If the connection problems persist and you are unable to connect to the appliance, please contact your network provider for advice on the best solution. www.visionfires.co.uk 8 ...
