I have had too many wifi connection problems. I would like to have the ability to plug the hub directly into a network switch via a network cable. My Fire TV stick (comes only with wifi capability) has the ability to connect a network adapter through the micro-USB port (and the adapter then connec…

Well, that is pretty much what I have done. Runs from the master bedroom (where the FIOS ONT is installed), kitchen, and garage, to my office. Next time, I will pay someone to do the work :smiley:

[image] PlymouthMN1: I would like to have the ability to plug the hub directly into a network switch via a network cable Yes - multiple (me included) have asked, but WF has replied that this is not in their plans at this time.

Another thing to point out is that the Amazon Fire Stick contains a full (albeit butchered) monolithic Linux operating system, which has device drivers for things like USB wired ethernet adapters. Weatherflow’s station hardware has been based on IoT-style hardware from the start, with the focus on …

I get it that it would require a hardware change since there is obviously no network driver hardware in the hub. However, if there were, the power to drive it would be lower than powering a wifi radio, and would be moot anyway, since the network adapter (if done like the Fire Stick) is powered by t…

I know it doesn’t make sense, but try giving the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz networks a different name. In my experience the hub has troubles with both being equal.

I created a 2.4Ghz network named Weatherstation just for the hub. There is no 5Ghz network with that name.

It would not be so bad if all I had to do was unplug the hub and it would reconnect when plugged back in. I could simply put a smart plug on it and do that remotely. But, most of the time when it loses connection, I have to go through the wifi setup. And to make it worse, the IOS app does not con…

unplugging and plugging it back in shoudn’t be the solution anyway, but I have no further suggestions, besided perhaps have a look at a log file in your router. It might give a reason for the disconnect, or perhaps weatherflow support can have a look.

Have you tried to change the Wifi passphrase ? Maybe it is o long or any character makes some trouble, tr without special characters.

My hub has never had an issue with using the same SSID for both 2.4 and 5Ghz.
