Troubleshooting:
A weak Wi-Fi signal may cause issues with the performance of the Sub-Zero Group Owner's App and can prevent pairing the appliance in the Sub-Zero Group Owner's App.
For New Installations
- Precheck the Wi-Fi signal level and quality at the location where the connected appliance will be installed beforehand to help reduce connectivity issues.
- To check Wi-Fi quality, turn on the Wi-Fi for the smart phone or tablet and place it where the product will be installed. Wi-Fi signal strength reported by a phone or tablet is not identical to the strength experienced by the appliance, but it serves as a baseline for the installation location.
- Verify the Wi-Fi signal and the data rate are acceptable.
- Search the internet for "internet speed test" to find an internet speed test.
- To see a visualization of the signal level, you can use a Wi-Fi analyzation app. There are numerous apps available on Android and iOS App Store.
- A bandwidth or speed test app may be used to give a more accurate measurement of your Internet connection quality.
- The performance of the speed test depends on your Internet service plan. If the speed test performance is slow, contact your Internet service provider.
For Existing Installations
- Move the access point as close to the appliance as possible.
- For signal strength issues, consider using a Wi-Fi signal range extender. See more information on extenders in Wi-Fi Signal Range Extenders.
