Hi Sieghard, Thanks for this. Have you become aware of any stated guidelines in the instructions for how near the outside unit needs to be to the indoor unit to establish and maintain that connection?
Thanks in advance.

I have a router which does not have integrated WiFi, well, at least I do now, next week I get new routers for my business and home and they will also have WiFi. Anyhow, because my routers currently don't have WiFi, I use an Airport Express which is plugged into the router and which in turn creates the WiFi network. You can think of it like when in the old days people had stereo amplifiers and separate radio tuners for AM and FM radio. You had an amplifier and connected to it was a separate tuner with a cable. Nowadays just about everybody has either a stereo or home theatre receiver which is an amplifier that has an AM/FM tuner built into it. Similarly a WiFi capable router has the WiFi radio/component built into the router, it's all in the same box whereas mine is a router and separate WiFi unit (the Airport Express). Sorry for the long explanation, but I can't help it *smile*. Anyhow, if you have a router with WiFi at home which most of us do because we have iPhones, you should have absolutely no issues with the Netatmo Weather Station to connect to your WiFi. As I said, when I took it to the store in my town where they sell all the Apple stuff, they connected it to their WiFi and it was all done in 2 minutes. Just keep in mind that the setup wizard is currently not accessible, so you would need sighted help, but once it is connected the information is stored in the unit and you will never have to do this again unless you change the name or password of your WiFi network. The iPhone app is mostly accessible, a bit cluttered and you currently can't get the minimum and maximum temperature readings from the previous day, but as I said before, the company is awesome and have told me they are looking into making Voiceover improvements in an update in the next 4-6 weeks. I will continue to report about the progress and will become one of their Beta Testers although I won't be able to post much about beta versions of the app officially as developers don't want that. I have, however, a good feeling about these guys, they are responsive and willing. Regards, Sieghard -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VIPhone" Google Group.
