Reeflink!!! Trying not to pull my hair out!!!

[levi83]

My reeflink wouldn’t work so I reset it. Now I can’t get it to connect. I’m so tired of this stupid thing. What do I do?

Are you using the WiFi ? It has a horrible WiFi chip. I had to use Ethernet before it would stay connected.

+2 Use Ethernet if you can.

They are horrible for interference on Wifi. I nearly had a stroke dealing with mine originally until I moved it away from the TV cabinet. Moved it to another room with less electronics and hasn't been an issue once since.

I took it downstairs and hooked it up with an ethernet cable. It works now. I used to have it hooked up this way but got tired of going downstairs to reset it. Long story short, I updated it’s firmware and it’s worked 24 hours. I’m not holding my breathe.

Thanks for the suggestions!

Wait until you get forced to Mobius, you'll miss the Reef Link.

I used a power Ethernet to move mine near the tank.
