3.2. Information about WiFi
3.2.1. WiFi range
Theoretically, WiFi has a range of several tens of meters. Depending on the environment and the
devices used, the range of the reception zone may noticeably vary.
If you direct your robot outside of this reception zone, it will no longer be under your control and will
automatically stop.
3.2.2. Interferences
Irregular behaviour or loss of control of the robot may result from interference caused by high tension
lines, high-voltage transformers, certain types of buildings, concrete walls, or narrow spaces in which the
WiFi SIGNALS sent by the robot MAY BECOME WEAKENED, which makes reception of a GOOD WIFI
SIGNAL DIFFICULT for the robot.
If this type of behaviour or loss of control is encountered, PLEASE CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE ROBOT.
The robot’s behaviour is more reliable when it is controlled in local mode with WiFi access point
(please see chapter 3.3.1 “Local mode: control Spykee from your computer in close proximity to the
robot”).
3.2.3. WiFi Network
Depending on the condition of the WiFi network, the image may be slowed, and sound and movement
may be delayed. This is associated with the WiFi network and is not under the control of the Meccano
Company.
