Check your Danfoss Link CC connection

There are many factors that might cause your Danfoss Link CC to be off-line occasionally. Before spending the time troubleshooting your home network, you should verify that one of these more common issues aren’t causing the problem:

  1. The connection to the Internet at your home is down
  2. A power failure at home
  3. There is a problem with your Wi-Fi router

You can test this by verifying that your phone can connect to the Internet via the same Wi-Fi network.

If you are still experiencing problems – check these troubleshooting steps:

  1. Restart Wi-fi Router and/or Access point
  2. Check Wi-Fi signal strength at Danfoss Link CC – Try moving the Danfoss link CC closer to the router, if successful this may show that the signal strength is not strong enough to reach where you would like to locate your unit.
  3. Check the router parameters – the table below shows the recommended settings for the Danfoss Link CC.
  4. Try to connect the Danfoss Link CC to a mobile hotspot using your smartphone
  5. Restart the Danfoss Link CC
  6. Check for 2.4 GHz interference – There is more details below about the types of devices that could be interrupting the signal.
  7. Check the parental controls on your Wi-Fi router/access point and other firewall settings (Refer to your Wi-Fi router documentation to see if this feature is enabled on your network and how you can exempt the Danfoss Link CC from these restrictions).
  8. Update your Wi-Fi access point or router’s firmware
