    Rain Bird Irrigation ESP-TM2 & ESP-Me Series Controller LNK WiFi Plug in Module

    • I have had the unit lose connection 3 times and have to be reconfigured every time.
    • looses connection from time to time.. even though its fairly close to the routerbut when she is working, its awesome
    • and it's never lost connection, and whether I'm home or on the road it never takes more than a couple seconds for the app to connect.
    • but I still had a consistent connection
    • It CONTINUALLY loses connection to my wifi network.
    • Talk to the tech folks who were helpful when on the phone, then it would lose connection again.
    • However it is constantly losing connection to the wifi and does not (to my knowledge) reconnect after it has disconnected.
    • and when it did the interface is so unfriendly, but before i could do anything with it it lost connection.
    • Easy connection and understandable directions
    • Two things to be aware of... if you type in an incorrect WiFi password, the system will tell you have a bad network connection, nothing about bad account credentials.
    • First, connecting to the wi-fi as another connection is ridiculous.
    • Weekly my Wifi LNK would lose connection.
    • They connection is spotty at best
    • Flawless connection, then disconnect
    • It has to have a very strong and unobstructed Wifi connection to work properly
    • It would reset regularly and lose connection on 5ghz wifi
    • I have a strong connection to the Rainbird system and even so it still has some lag and the interface is somewhat clunky
    • Only likes 2.4 gH connection for setup, then works mixed!
    • This was not the cure, however, as I still had odd connection issues with the replacement (which was actually manufactured earlier than the one I originally had, based on serial #s).I FINALLY figured out that the wifi connection was for some reason dropping off/out.
    • I run a mesh network and get an excellent connection
    • Also, it does have a tendency to lose the WiFi connection, which is a PITA to deal with
    • Downloaded the app and secured a WiFi connection
    • Very Very weak connection distance, so you better buy another hotspot and place it within 20ft.
    • After giving up on the former, I was successful with using iPhone XR but the connection was lost repeatedly.
    • Loses connection periodically, but is pretty stable as long as you are using it.
    • More importantly, the biggest flaw is it's weak signal strength - didn't even work with a WiFi extender installed right next to the Rain Bird console and when it does (1/20 times), the connection is always spotty.
    • Installation was fairly easy and the connection has been solid
    • Sometimes loses connection but reconnects after a few minutes; it doesnt feel like the fastest thing in the world and I do not know if it is the controller or this device; still faster and easier than walking all the way to the controller.
    • Constantly loses connection
    • The connection is still unstable
    • No connection issues at all, and it isn’t close to my WiFi router by any means
    • Overall not bad but need a better connection.
    • In the garage, my phone showed a strong connection but the Rain Bird adapter had intermittent problems connecting.
