Possible Causes

Weak Wi‑Fi signal at thermostat location, Router power-saving or band-steering issues, Outdated thermostat firmware, Interference from other 2.4 GHz devices

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No electrical work is required.

Steps:

  • Check Wi‑Fi signal strength on the thermostat (if displayed) or via the Schneider Electric app. If signal is low, move the router closer or install a Wi‑Fi extender.
  • Ensure the thermostat is connected to a 2.4 GHz network if it does not support 5 GHz. Disable band steering or Smart Connect features that may confuse IoT devices.
  • Update the thermostat firmware via the app or building management system to the latest version.
  • Assign a fixed IP address (DHCP reservation) to the thermostat in your router to reduce connection drops.
  • If other devices are stable and only the thermostat drops, the internal Wi‑Fi module may be degrading; replacement of the thermostat may be necessary.
