How to Optimize REMI’s WiFi Reception?
A strong WiFi connection is essential for REMI’s proper functioning, especially for features like the Baby Monitor, Walkie-Talkie, and Alarm. If REMI is experiencing connection issues or frequently disconnects, follow these steps to improve WiFi reception.
1. Check REMI’s WiFi Signal Strength
You can measure the WiFi signal strength received by REMI directly from the app:
- Open the REMI app.
- Go to Settings (gear icon at the top right of the home screen).
- Tap “REMI WiFi Reception”.
- Check the RSSI value (WiFi signal strength indicator).
A signal strength higher than -75 dB may cause disconnections or service interruptions. Ideally, the RSSI should be lower than -75 dB for a stable connection.
2. Move REMI to Improve the Signal
If the WiFi signal is too weak, try moving REMI around the room to find a location with a better RSSI. To do this:
- Test different positions in the room while monitoring the RSSI in the app.
- Keep REMI away from thick walls, bulky furniture, or metal objects that may block the signal.
- Avoid placing REMI too close to the floor, as higher positions often improve reception.
WiFi signals struggle to pass through concrete walls and long distances. If REMI is too far from the router, consider a solution to boost the signal.
3. Install a WiFi Extender
If your WiFi network does not adequately cover the room where REMI is located, you can use a WiFi extender. This device captures and amplifies the WiFi signal to improve connectivity.
- Place the extender between the router and REMI, in an area where the WiFi signal is still strong.
- Connect REMI to the extender’s network (use the same SSID and password as your main WiFi if possible).
- Check for signal improvement using the REMI app.
A simple and affordable WiFi extender is often enough to enhance REMI’s connection. You can find them in electronics stores or online.
4. Additional Solutions If Issues Persist
If REMI’s WiFi reception remains weak despite these optimizations, here are some additional solutions:
- Restart your internet router to ensure it is functioning properly.
- Change your WiFi channel via your router settings, especially if you are in an apartment with high interference.
- Avoid 5 GHz WiFi, as REMI only works with 2.4 GHz WiFi.
- Move REMI closer to the router if possible.
If the problem persists, contact customer support to verify the signal quality and diagnose any other possible issues.
