Low Wi-Fi Strength and Frequent Network Disconnection Tips

 To mitigate weak Wi-Fi issues between your sump pump location and your internet modem, there are several steps you can take to improve the wireless signal strength and prevent disconnection problems. Here are some suggestions:
 

• Reposition the Modem: Try relocating your internet modem to a more centralized location within your home. This can help improve the overall Wi-Fi coverage and reduce signal strength degradation, in the case where the modem is also providing the Wi-Fi signal.
• Use Wi-Fi Extenders or Mesh Systems: Wi-Fi extenders or mesh systems can help expand the coverage of your Wi-Fi network. Place these devices strategically between your modem and the sump pump location to amplify the signal and extend its range.

Please call customer service (844)633-8356 for recommended list of Wi-Fi extenders.

• Upgrade Your Modem or Router: If you are using an older modem or router, consider upgrading to a more powerful and modern device. Newer models often offer improved Wi-Fi performance, stronger signals, and better coverage.
• Check for Interference: Interference from other electronic devices or physical obstructions (such as walls, floors, or appliances) can weaken the Wi-Fi signal. Ensure that the modem and sump pump are positioned away from potential sources of interference, such as microwaves or cordless phones.
• Update Firmware when applicable: Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations and ensure that your modem, router, and any Wi-Fi extenders or access points have the latest firmware installed. Keeping these devices up to date can resolve compatibility issues and improve performance.

By implementing these measures, you should be able to enhance your Wi-Fi signal strength and reduce disconnection problems, ensuring that important alerts from your sump pump reach your phone reliably.
