Hello...this is my second Traeger, I just bought the Pro 575 after trading in my 22" grill I bought in 2018...I paid another 500.00 with my grill as a trade in and that grill was pristine...the main reason was getting the WIFI addition...well...after getting a signal strength between 69-90 and no function due to those high numbers, I bought a WIFI extender after talking to the rep who said I really should have no problem with those high numbers as he's seen many others accessing just fine...
...I wanted to be sure so I bought a NETGEAR unit and it DID NOT CHANGE THE SIGNAL STRENGTH...i was gettin a "WEAK" connection and sure enough it started out OK then QUIT half way through the grilling !!
...tried it again and the same thing happened...so I bought an even "better mesh unit" which was the BEST supposedly and got online today and found the same crappy numbers...NOT A HAPPY GRILLER !!!
...my WIFI is in the living room which is 14' from the EXTENDER and the grill is just outside the sliding glass doors which is only 13' away...(in a triangle configuration)
...am I the only one with this problem or did I get sold short on the product...it needs to go back and give my my 500.00 and old grill...just saying...if you have any help, I'd love to hear...thank you !!!
