WIFI distance before loosing connectivity

[johnharvey]

So I while doing my machine retrofit the MASSO WIFI antenna was measured at 25' from the router line of sight, no obstructions and it was able to connect and transfer files reliably. Now that I have moved the machine into position at 50' away, twice the distance, and still line of sight with no obstructions, I am unable to get a connection established??? My MASSO antenna is externally mounted.

What is the expected range?? What can I do to get it reconnected? Every other device in the shop has no issues with connectivity. The new build 3.44 did not help.

Thanks,



John

There is a longer higher gain antenna listed in following link if needed in the future. I am at 45' +/- and go through one sheet rock wall and one tin metal wall and I still have good connectivity on the factory antenna

@johnharvey your wifi router will automatically assign a free IP address and can change, the best way to avoid this is by using Fixed IP Address setting in the WiFi settings window on MASSO.
