my mysa keeps disconnecting from wifi every few days and i have to reboot it to get it back online

— asked by Casey

Quick answer: The thermostat is losing its Wi-Fi connection. This is typically caused by router settings that conflict with the Mysa's stable connection requirements.

Diagnosis

The thermostat is losing its Wi-Fi connection. This is typically caused by router settings that conflict with the Mysa's stable connection requirements.

How to Fix It

Log into your router's admin settings. Disable the following features for the Mysa's IP address or MAC address: Band Steering, Airtime Fairness, and Smart Connect. Ensure the Mysa is connected to a 2.4 GHz network, not 5 GHz.

If That Didn't Work

The issue may be signal strength. Use the Mysa app to check the Wi-Fi signal strength on the thermostat's settings page. A value below -70 dBm is weak. Consider a Wi-Fi extender.

Heads Up

Router firmware updates can sometimes re-enable these problematic features. You may need to repeat this process after a router update.
