FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How far can I have my VSL95 from my router?
This distance will vary depending on your house, Wi-Fi signal reach, and
router. We, therefore, recommend testing the Wi-Fi connection strength to get
an optimal signal in the installation area before installing the VSL95
fixture. If the signal is poor, you can resolve this by relocating your VSL95
fixture, upgrading your broadband and/or router, or using a WIFI signal
booster.
I am unable to connect my VSL95 fixture to my Wi-Fi system.
Please make sure the Wi-Fi signal strength in the location where the camera is
installed is good (check with your phone).
Should I use 2.4GHz or 5GHz Wi-Fi?
The VSL95 fixture is only capable of connecting to the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi frequency.
How many users can be connected to a VSL95 fixture at once?
There is no specific limit, however, we recommend no more than 4 connections
at once; the available bandwidth strength of the internet connection that the
VSL95 fixture is using may limit multiple connections at the same time.
Basic steps should it happen you lose connectivity between the VSL95
fixture and the router
1. Reset your router by switching it off and back on to establish a fresh
connection 2. Reset the unit – explained on page 8 of the manual
General information
Each house or business building /premises has different structural layouts and uses different routers and all these factors have to be taken into account during the planning stage when installing and set-up the VSL95 fixture to ensure enough interaction signal strength to the dedicated internal router.
- Make sure the mobile device you are using is connected to the same Wi-Fi router the VSL95 fixture is connected to and also try your 4G network.
- Make sure your wireless network is available in the area you are going to install the VSL95 fixture. Depending on the layout of your house, and the position of your Wi-Fi router, you may also run into connectivity issues if the Wi-Fi signal strength is weak due to brick walls or excessive amounts of steel in the construction.
If the signal strength of your Wi-Fi router is weak, there are several ways to improve transmission for example by just changing your router or VSL95 fixture to receive an optimum or better signal. Testing your bandwidth:
- Run a speed test on your mobile phone connected to your network to see how much bandwidth your Internet connection has available.
- Temporarily disconnect other devices in your home from the Internet, one at a time. You can do this by switching off Wi-Fi, unplugging ethernet cables, or by turning the devices off. Be sure to also disconnect any unattended devices that might be streaming music, downloading updates, or running a torrent program.
- After disconnecting one of your devices, run a secondary speed test to see if your Internet connection now has more bandwidth available.
You may have to be more conscious of “bandwidth traffic ” on your network: HD movie downloading or streaming, music streaming, and online gaming can all take up a large portion of your Internet connection’s bandwidth. You can contact your Internet service provider to upgrade your connection so all your devices have enough bandwidth to share.
Restart your router
If the above steps didn’t fix the problem, sometimes the equipment that
runs your Internet connection just needs to be restarted. It’s a lot like when
your laptop or cell phone becomes sluggish after being left on for a few days
straight. Restart your router:
- Unplug your router’s power.
- Wait for about 15 seconds, then plug your modem back in.
- After your modem has finished restarting, plug your router back in.
- After your router has restarted, run another speed test
Move your router
A common cause for possible video problems could be that the Wi-Fi signal is partially blocked by walls between the VSL95 fixture and router. Another is that the router is too far away for a reliable connection. All Wi-Fi devices can suffer from a poor Wi-Fi signal, but it’s often easy to fix – moving your router as close as possible or nearby the installation area of the VSL95 can make a big difference in the Wi-Fi connection quality. You can also try to add a Wi-Fi extender to improve your network’s range and get a better signal to your VSL95 fixture
