Signal strength depends on your router and
the mounting location of the iQ20 web-connect
device. Use the Hotspot method to evaluate
(See Section 3.1). If you move the router closer
and signal still not strong, consider installing
a Wi-Fi range extender, Wi-Fi repeater, or
another type of router. You may also install an
app on your smart phone (e.g., Wi-Fi Analyzer
or Wi-Fi Sweetspots) to check your signal
strength and bandwidth.
