Possible Causes

Weak Wi‑Fi signal at thermostat, Router channel congestion or interference, Outdated thermostat firmware, Router power-saving or band-steering features causing drops

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No electrical work on HVAC equipment is required.

Steps to troubleshoot:

  • 1. Check signal strength: In the thermostat’s Wi‑Fi settings, view signal strength. If low, move the router closer or add a Wi‑Fi extender.
  • 2. Adjust router settings: Set the router to a less congested channel and ensure 2.4 GHz is enabled if required by the thermostat.
  • 3. Update firmware: Update both the router and thermostat firmware to the latest versions.
  • 4. Assign static IP (optional): Configure a DHCP reservation for the thermostat in the router to reduce connection issues.
