Power Watchdog WiFi

My unit connects fine for a week and then suddenly stops with the wifi. Very annoying when i bought this for wifi festures (gen 2)

This gen 2 WiFi doesn’t notify me when it looses power even when it hasn’t signed me out. It is constantly signing me out. I emailed them about a question that I had and have yet to be contacted. I would not suggest this to anyone unless they get the bugs worked out.

Called Hughes directly to order. Arrived a day earlier than expected (2 days). Downloaded the correct app (this app) for the Gen 2 after calling customer service about unable to connect. The wi-fi is great and gives us a piece of mind when away from the rig (2 dogs). Make sure you first turn your phone to cellular with Bluetooth on before setting up connection and then turn on WiFi for internet setup. Only issue I have is the plug cover will not close all the way due to the handle on my power cord. It still shelters the connection from the weather however. Definitely recommend the Gen 2 Watchdog.

First, make sure you download the correct app. This app is for the GEN II units, NOT the GEN I. There is another app for GEN I. So far, everything seems to work fine. Had an issue connecting to WiFi. Wouldn’t connect to my 5G connection, but did to the 2G. That’s fine as 2G covers a longer distance. Will update if the need arises.

Easy setup. Great improvements as compared to the Gen 1 models. Although I did like Gen 1.

Is this some sort of a scam? It does not work.
