Please check to see if the signal strength of your WiFi router is weak in the place you have installed your appliance. If the signal strength is low, you could try moving the appliance (if possible) or install a WiFi extender. If the connectivity is poor in spite of high signal strength, please contact the customer service desk for your appliance.
