solve this problem;
●Reason 2. Due to some unexpected operation or power down, caused the destroy of device
parameters. At this time, just need to reset the device to factory default parameters;
●Reason 3. The device WiFi doesn’t work at the best channel, make the performance
worse. At this time, you can try to change the source WiFi hot spot WiFi channel
to make it the same as the default channel of the device, the reboot the device, the device
