  To resolve issues with data not reporting to Wunderground.com® with your Renkforce Weather Station: 1. Ensure your password is correct and that it matches the one you registered on Wunderground.com®. Note that Wunderground.com® passwords cannot begin with a non-alphanumeric character. 2. Verify that your station ID is correct, paying close attention to the capitalization and avoiding the substitution of an 'O' for a '0' or vice versa. 3. Confirm that your time zone is set properly to ensure you are reporting real-time data. 4. Check your router firewall settings, as the device sends data via Port 80.
