Sense hub flaky connection

Sometimes “network” problems aren’t just the average bandwidth. Things I’ve noticed that affected my connectivity in the past:

  • ISP
  • DNS
  • Cable Daisy-chaining issues
  • 2.4gHz congestion/interference issues
  • 5GHz SSID and 2.4GHz SSID with Matching vs Diff names
  • Memory Leak issues
  • Router Performance limitations (Ram, speed, total node limits)
  • Router features (QoS, WMM, Auto-blocking)

I went into a little more detail on all of the above variables here:

Once I resolved all of the above, my IoT devices (From Wyze and elsewhere) have all been really reliable, and I have well over 200 Wyze devices alone, including the hub with tons of sensors. Mine hasn’t been flaky at all in the last year since I addressed all of the above.

That’s not to say that there aren’t things Wyze can do to improve the experience people have. The VP of product also acknowledged that they are working this. When asked what plans they have for improving stability and connectivity, he responded:

So they are still working toward improving this. For now, if Support indicated there isn’t much more they can do from their end, consider looking into some of the items in the list I mentioned. It made a huge difference for me back when my Wyze devices were being flaky and driving me crazy.
