I think our wifi ranger is about to die.
Its always disconnecting.
Tested with horrible campground wifi. (1x1 if lucky)
Tested with rock solid 40x20 verizon hotspot. (I dont think i have ever seen faster!?)
With appletv, rokutv, 2 ipads, 2 iphones.
The wifi ranger eventually just pukes. I cant connect to it. I end up having to go reboot it by flipping the switch on wall off.
We are in our 48th day of camping at 4 different campgrounds using this thing. Frustrating.
I just upped my verizon bill to go “beyond unlimited”. ($$$!)
If i connect everything directly to my iphone hotspot, all is smooth, zero issues.
One problem with routers, they get hot. All routers do. This one is on the roof open to blazing sun?
Personally, i would have mounted the router inside and extended an antenna to the outside roof. I dont care if it “can handle the elements”, it still gets hot, its a router.)
Another issue with residential routers, they don’t have enough cpu/memory.
Ive been spoiled. I have a sonicwall tz 400 sitting in storage. I miss it. lol
Is this just normal? Should i contact wifi ranger and ask them for help?
I’d just like it to work as it was sold as “awesome”. Im less than happy with it. Sigh.
