How is everyone experiencing the signal strength received by the gameshell?
My experience is that basically it has a shit connection to my home wifi compared to basically all other equipment, like maybe 1/3 of the quality even if i’m in the room where my router is…35% in the wifi connection screen, is this normal?
Well, I dont have any issues with my Wify Connection.
When I’m at home - I got 100% next to the WiFy. Of course - when I’m sitting in the garden and got a high distance to my wify or to the repeater, the connection is bad (25-30% from garden to the first stage and round about 10-15m).
Maybe you should test the Wify Signal with somebody elses Wify again.
Or you starting a hotspot from you mobile device and test it.
At least there should be a good Wify Signal or Maybe your Router doesn’t work well
I’m comparing to my other devices like my cellphone and laptop who experience a far better connection on the same spots, but i havent had a lot of time to test yet, tomorrow i’ll be trying to access the tinycloud / connect with ssh kind of things…so we’ll see how the conntion holds…
with updating i had some issues getting a “connect to wifi” error while i just connected, which also took me 2 tries, so it looks like the signal drops sometimes…
Well at first it would be good if you try the other devices before the community can give you good advices to solve your Problem
I have the same issue, while all devices have 100% the gameshell only has 45% and sometimes less and it disconnects often …
I have the same problem as OP. Only meters away from my router I have trouble connecting. Temporary solution is to (when I’m at my desk anyway) create a hotspot with my laptop (Ethernet to Wifi). When I then try to do a speedtest (scp’ing a 4GB file to the device) I start at about 2.7MB/s, which then trails off towards 500KB/s. And this is when the hotspot and the Gameshell are both stood on the same desk.
I have the same… with any other device i have 90%, with the GS only 30%.
same issue here, plus sometimes it is so bad that GS disconnects.
Hi,
I received my gameshell 3 days ago and I noticed the same problems with the wifi.
It says 100% but I can’t send a rom over wifi… sometimes I get 4MB/s sometimes 50kB/s… (most of the time I have a bad bitrate…)
It’s really slow to send file on it…
The wifi connection is incredibly degraded if i’m not within a few feet of the router. Just walking away from the router by a few steps at a time shows a steep decrease in the signal.
the same with my device. i suppose the gameshell has to small antenna?
Happened the same to me, try this: Getting the wifi to behave without disconections
