Is the wifi connection for remote access really trouble as it sounds.

I bought two of these for different houses. Wifi connection to home router took less than one minute per house. Scanned and recognized right away. Setting up the online software using phone App took about fifteen minutes to configure the alerts, set temps etc. I am able to reset temperature using the app with no problem. We have received alerts reliably. No issues so far and would recommend highly.

There are two parts I think to your question. The Thermostat connects to the Wi-Fi very easily. Since I've bought it there has been no trouble. It just works. The second portion is the website that you log into. It belongs to Honeywell and it has the GUI that talks to the thermostat. You don't connect directly to the thermostat. I use it to notify of major temperature change via email to my phone. That works fine. So as of yet it's not given me any problem and I would buy it again.

It works great and is easy to setup; no issues for over 6 months. As Sandy stated, you have to log into their website and not directly into it. That's it's only pitfall (as they can sell your information and you are 100% dependent on their servers to remain up), but thus far the app, the thermostat, and online features have been working flawlessly.

I was in a rush to install and have not tried to set up the wifi yet....install is relatively easy but shut down your unit prior to

I have a cable connection and an ancient wireless-G router. I haven't experienced any connectivity problems. My only problem so far is getting used to WIN 8 (I'm almost 66 and getting set in my ways :-D).

Yes, we are running Windows 8.1 and I haven't had any issues. Granted, I use the wifi portion, but it works fine.

It took me a couple of tries, the connection may not be strong enough. Try it on wifi

I assume he is asking if you can access via wireless connection, I do not believe that it is. Should be in the spec sheet if it is.

James, I have accumulated 4 of these over the last 12 months and never had the experience. This camera has nothing to do with your WiFi, so there is no problem.

If the network actually extends into your room but does not connect due to too weak a signal then this will fix the issue. However, if you cannot connect to the network because you do not have the password or SSID then this will not fix that issue.

Yes. Wi-Fi IS a problem. I did a fresh install of Windows 8.1 and could not get the Wi-Fi to connect. I continued to download drivers etc. It was frustrating but I eventually got around the problem. I wish I could elaborate but I set up the laptop months ago. Once you get it to work I haven't experienced any of the "spotty" problems. It connects on startup and doesn't lose it. If you're fine with the typical bloatwear that comes with a laptop I don't think you'll have a problem.

Sorry it is not working easily for you. I just found the wifi and entered the password and I was up and running

My Sony all-in-one is very fast and I have no more problems with WiFi than any other computer. There WAS a problem with Windows 8 and 8.1 but by resetting the WiFi adapter every time I rebooted I was able to work around that problem and now it appears Windows fixed the connection issue. I haven't had any internet connection problems in months.

Yep...I use WPA2 and it never has any connectivity trouble. It isn't fun typing in a complex pass code, but I've only had to do it once. I use an AirPort Extreme access point. (Previous generation)

Yes....I do have prob with the wifi very badly...it is really not working in mine...when I got it checked in India I heard they saying it is due to partition problem...that they might have not done the partition properly.

Sounds like your having a network issue and not a device issue since your able to connect

Personally, I haven't had any problem at all. I have my router in the other room and it connects just fine. I can't really give you an answer, because I have not experienced that kind of problem. Hope you figure it out. Good luck

I have absolutely NO problem with the WiFi. I have had NO problem with this machine at all since I got it . I was afraid to get it for the same reason.

I had no issues. If your wifi is password protected them ensure you are using the correct password
