My dealer finished installing everything on Friday and mentioned that my wifi service was "poor" and the Neeo remote kept losing connection. Since I didn't install their Araknis network gear ((Ubiquiti Pro AP's and Edgerouter X), he blamed my network and suggested a dedicated SSID for the remotes with the 2.4GHz channel only- which I did... And it didn't help (I suspected it wouldn't).
Connected to the same SSID (2.4GHz only) I can pull 40 MBPS on my couch with my phone and don't have issues streaming (-70dBm), but both Neeo remotes show -75 to -80dBm and loses connectivity all the time in the same location. It's worse if I move around in the room with the remote- the remote just gets lost trying to connect to the network.
I put both Neeo remotes and my iphone (doing a wifi RSSI scan) in the same location and checked Unifi to see what was reported:
Neeo #1, on AP1, -75dBm
Neeo #2, on AP2, -79dBm
iPhone, on AP2, -70dBm
The Neeo devices themselves reported the same values in the Settings->About screen
Anybody have any advice? Is there some setting in Unifi I need to enable or disable to to make this remote happy or does it just have a sorry WIFI receiver (or both)? My living room is halfway between 3 APs- I suppose it could be getting lost between them. The closest AP is 25' or so away. The furthest is ~40'. My phone has no issues and immediately reselects to the best AP so it's not something obvious in my network config. The Neeo remotes seem to stay camped on an AP even when I move it directly under another AP for 10-20 seconds before reselecting, so that's not ideal.
I'm tinkering with AP power settings and channels to see if that helps, but any other advice would be beneficial. It seems like these remotes just can't operate with anything below -70dBm. I guess I could install another Ubiquiti LR AP for $109 and irradiate myself with 24dBm of 2.4GHz...
