@millie, I changed it to channel 11 but it appears that it toggled back to auto at some point already. I switched it back to 11.
I’m still having the same issue but I know it does connect to the Wifi off and on b/c the rain is updating.
It has run once in the last week when we received rain and it didn’t update before the scheduled run time. Super frustrating when that happens. Also, when I stand next to the controller with my phone I have a steady 2 bars and sometimes 3 on my wifi so the signal strength shouldn’t be an issue.
