MOUNTING THE WIFI BRIDGE
60m LINE OF SIGHT
HOME ROUTER
(NOT INCLUDED)
POSITIONING
WHEN FINDING A LOCATION TO MOUNT THE LiT HUB WiFi BRIDGE, THERE ARE
SOME FACTORS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE CONNECTIVITY OF YOUR WiFi BRIDGE TO
YOUR HOME ROUTER.
MINIMIZING THE NUMBER OF OBSTRUCTIONS BETWEEN THE WiFi BRIDGE AND
THE HOME ROUTER WILL IMPROVE THE CONNECTIVITY BETWEEN THE DEVICES.
MATERIALS SUCH AS TIN, STEEL AND CONCRETE CAN HAVE A DETRIMENTAL
AFFECT ON THE WiFi BRIDGE SIGNAL TO THE HOME ROUTER.
PLACE A PHONE IN THE DESIRED WIFI BRIDGE LOCATION AND CHECK THE
SIGNAL STRENGTH TO THE HOME ROUTER.
IF THE HOME ROUTER IS A LONG DISTANCE AWAY OR SIGNAL STRENGTH IS
POOR, INSTALLATION OF A WIFI REPEATER MAY BE REQUIRED.
SmartOutdoor Lighting Controller
THE BRIDGE SHOULD BE MOUNTED:
- WITHIN 60M LINE OF SIGHT OF THE HOME ROUTER.
- IN AN ELEVATED POSITION.
- OUTSIDE OF ENCLOSURES. eg. PUMP HOUSES OR GARDEN SHEDS.
