WEIRD WIFI DAY

[Slimpicker]

So I did an overnight Pulled pork, No I didn't take pics cuz I have so many, they all look the same, blah blah.

But this was a really strange night/day. First, out of the blue, for the first time in maybe 2-3 years, my TRGR APP couldn't find my grill... THEN, my Fireboard2 was acting up with nothing about WIFI, THEN my Spark wouldn't connect to my FB2.

So one at a time, reboot WIFI twice, clear Traeger app cache, restart APP, fine, Traeger finds my grill.
FB2 is finding my WIFI, Spark if finding my WIFI, but Spark is not syncing.
Easy email to FB Support,

Hi Slim,

I'm sorry to hear that the Spark doesn't sync with your FireBoard 2.

I have successfully queued the latest firmware(4.1.17) to your FireBoard and Spark (1.6.5.). It's ready to install the next time your FireBoard is on and connected to WIFI.

You’ll just need to ensure that the firmware update is successfully installed on both of your FireBoard devices.
Once the updates are complete, please restart both units and then re-enable SyncMode on the Spark. This should resolve the issue.

Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you.

Regards,
Jenifer

Well, everything looks good on the APP, and they both UPDATED, I just didn't test them yet cuz I got too busy.

If anyone doesn't have their FB stuff updated.... well.

This has been a very active year for our sun, which is at the peak of Solar Cycle 25. On June 17, there was an ""X"" class solar flare, which is the strongest class of such flares. These flares can disrupt communications in various frequencies. While strong signals might still get through, weaker signals might not. I cannot say definitively that this phenomenon is what affected your grill and temperature probe, but it is among the possibilities. If things returned to normal without significant intervention on your part, then this might be what happened.

Seems to have fixed this problem, MEANWHILE, I have had other weird electrical stuff... including a glitch in my truck

While strong signals might still get through, weaker signals might not.

Well, Traeger and Fireboard want us to use the lower WIFI

Maybe you need one of these new BBQ hats. You can use it to sift your pellets too
