I bought Konnected which doesn’t connect reliably.
Frustrating, internet settings keep going and it simply doesn’t work
Wi-Fi around shows full strength with 1.2 gig on fast.net
Anyway, I am done with Konnected. No more trying and wasting my time
I need your help please
Suggested me any reliable security board that I can use with my old wiring
And I can hardwire ethernet connection
Yes. There is a third party integration that works well. THere are two options - one native and one with an intermediary rPi. I use the native option. A tad chatty. The Envisalink board is ethernet only, no wifi.
However... the envisalink board is designed to work with an intact and functioning Vista or DSC Ademco panel. It won't work with dry contacts salvaged from another panel. It connects as if it were an alarm keypad. It also does not interfere with the normal functioning of the panel, so if HE goes down (god forbid) you still have a fully functioning stand-alone alarm system.
700 Mbps WiFi speeds are only achievable using 5 gHz (or 6 gHz if you have 6e) WiFi bands. Most home automation devices are designed to work with 2.4 gHz WiFi only. That band is limited to a maximum of 450 Mbps. If your router is using the same SSID for both 2.4 gHz and 5 gHz, that may be why you cannot get your boards to stay connected. Make sure the boards are connecting at 2.4 gHz only. You might need to reconfigure your router if it is using the same SSID for both bands.
I also agree with @rlithgow1 that your router might be too close to the boards. At 2 ft distance, you might be overloading the front end of the receiver of the boards. That can cause distortion of the signal and result in disconnects.
I wasn't thinking about the combined 2.4/4 SSID's. Great point to bring up. I wish companies would stop combining them as that can cause a lot of issues. Especially with pairing.
I have a number of devices that only work with 2.4 gHz WiFi such as my LG appliances and my Traeger pellet grill. Some like my Ecobee 3 thermostat support both 2.4 and 5 gHz.
There are a few mesh routers that combine the SSIDs and provide no way of separating them. That can make connecting 2.4 gHz only devices quite a challenge as you need to connect your cell phone to the 2.4 gHz band to complete the installation process. Although it is possible to disable the 5 gHz radio on most phones, few people have ever done it.
Its interesting you say that. While I generally don't have issues with using a single SSID for 2.4ghz and 5ghz, the organization I run supports about 11,000 users - many of them are work-from-home. The number one issue we see with folks reporting "performance problems" is home networking issues and top amongst these is wifi flipping back and forth between 2.4ghz and 5ghz - a problem that is eliminated when using separate SSIDs. Or locking the laptop to a particular band, but that comes with its own set of issues.
Many new routers like my TP-Link/Archer AXE16000 quad band will default to using the same SSID for every band (2.4, 5, and 6 gHz in my case). However, it does provide for separate SSID setup, so that is how I do it. I have four different SSIDs, one for each band (two of them are 5 gHz).
It is my understanding that many mesh routers, however, do not even provide separated SSIDs as an option in the firmware. That is why I use routers and access points I can manage individually rather than a mesh system. I have one access point that uses Ethernet backhaul and one that uses WiFi. The access points have different SSIDs than the primary router so I always know which device is connected to each SSID.
