    A miracle happened last night. Was setting up for an overnight brisket And figured Id try to connect Wi-Fi again. Well, went through all the same issues as normal but this time after connecting failed I found something (for me). After the first Failure I was able to hit backspace and remove...

    Replacement for Camp Chef Woodwind recommendations please--Looking for specific features

    Have the Camp Chef Woodwind Wifi 24 and it looks like I'm going to have to replace it, unfortunately. I have another thread going where it seems I'm not the only one with Wifi issues. I will get my money back. I do love the way the smoker cooks. What drew me to it were some of the features...

    Camp Chef Woodwind -- Having Wifi Issues

    My access points are compatible with 802.11n b/g standards. So I tried again over the weekend following the instructions their customer service sent me with the same result. I also tried using the old hopper/auger/control unit which is now inside the house in a box. With it 10' from the access...

    Camp Chef Woodwind -- Having Wifi Issues

    Iphone Xs. Bluetooth connects fine and I can monitor/change temps and set timers from bluetooth. But you need wifi if you want to monitor if you leave the house or are out of range of bluetooth. One feature I wish it had was an alarm when the internal temps gets to the desired setting. Right...

    You connect over bluetooth to control the unit and from there put it onto the wifi network.

    Camp Chef Woodwind -- Having Wifi Issues

    It won't let you proceed to connect without putting in something. It's about 20' from the router (5' from the window) and the house has a mesh network anyway so there is continuous coverage at any corner (and outside). I ran a heatmapper wifi survey which is a program you run on your laptop and...

    Camp Chef Woodwind -- Having Wifi Issues

    I'll check the version but once you are 20' past my house you can't get the signal, so nobody is stealing it. But the fact that it see's the network, albeit with no bars, whereas every other device sees the network fine would be pointing to a poor antenna, no?

    Camp Chef Woodwind -- Having Wifi Issues

    Have had the unit a few weeks and could use some feedback on the wifi. I'm thinking the antenna is very weak on it. I am seeing the network but no bars on the grill, where my phone/ipad/laptop and a wifi coverage test all show 2-3 bars. I can grab the network and do a reset, but then the unit...
