Very slow when connecting to wifi

  • Hi,

    I just bought my first Shelly device, the Shelly EM. Connected it to power and attached the 50A clamp.

    Wifi access point was nicely created and connection without issues. Going to 192.168.33.1 is smooth.

    However, when I change the wifi mode to client and fill the details and push save, the connection is slow. So slow that the browser times out.

    I tried a few things like:

    - set the wifi router from auto channel to channel 8

    - tried bandwidths 20 and 40 instead of auto 20/40

    - turned off home assistant that is on the same network to avoid any CoIoT traffic

    Is there a specific setting I should use in the AP or in the Shelly EM device?

    Thanks,

    Robert

  • To add:

    - moved the Shelly next to the router to avoid a bad signal (although it is only 6 meters apart)

    - gave the MAC address a fixed IP in the router

    - disabled CoIoT on the Shelly (although I would need this to connect to Home Assistant later on)
