How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Network changes are low risk; avoid opening the thermostat while powered.

  • Step 1 – Check signal strength:
    • In the thermostat or app, view Wi‑Fi signal level.
    • If low, move router closer or add a Wi‑Fi extender.
  • Step 2 – Change Wi‑Fi channel:
    • Log into router and select a less congested 2.4 GHz channel (1, 6, or 11).
  • Step 3 – Disable router power saving:
    • Turn off aggressive power-saving or client isolation features that may drop idle devices.
  • Step 4 – Ensure stable power to thermostat:
    • Frequent reboots due to power dips can appear as Wi‑Fi drops.
    • Check power supply stability.
  • Step 5 – If issues persist:
    • Thermostat Wi‑Fi module may be marginal; consider replacing the Protherm smart thermostat.
