Wi-Fi router compatibility

Resolve router and Wi-Fi constraints.

Updated Feb 9, 2026

Overview

Connectivity problems often involve weak signal, SIM issues, or APN configuration. Resolve router and Wi-Fi constraints.

Diagnostics

  • Check signal strength and last heartbeat time.
  • Verify SIM status and data plan.
  • Review APN settings in the portal.

Resolution steps

  • Move antenna outside metal shielding.
  • Power cycle and reseat the SIM.
  • Reconfigure APN and retest.

Preventive maintenance

  • Document signal strength by location.
  • Avoid placing units in shielded corners.
  • Recheck connectivity after firmware updates.

When to contact support

  • No signal after antenna relocation.
  • SIM is active but device stays offline.
  • Repeated disconnects in stable locations.

Expanded guidance

  • Confirm all steps are documented so the next technician can reproduce the results.
  • Capture before/after metrics (errors cleared, sales restored, or uptime improved).
  • Review machine, reader, or route settings to ensure they match location standards.

Common pitfalls

  • Skipping a controlled test leads to false positives.
  • Updating hardware without documenting configuration changes.
  • Forgetting to verify payout, refund, or reconciliation data after changes.

Next-step checklist

  • Run a final test with known-good inputs.
  • Log the outcome with date, time, and device identifiers.
  • Schedule a follow-up check if the location has high traffic or seasonal demand.

Additional details

Operational notes

  • Document changes with time, machine ID, and location name.
  • Verify settings, pricing, and service modes after each fix.
  • Capture before/after results to confirm resolution.

Field checklist

  • Test with known-good inputs and controlled conditions.
  • Validate telemetry, alerts, and payment logs where applicable.
  • Confirm location expectations and update the site contact.

Common root causes

  • Configuration drift after firmware or component swaps.
  • Inconsistent power or network conditions at the location.
  • Gaps in preventive maintenance routines.

Next steps

  • Monitor for 7 days and note any repeat errors.
  • Schedule follow-up if the site is high-traffic.
  • Escalate with full logs and photos if issues repeat.

Smart cooler notes

Vision system checks

  • Validate camera calibration and lighting conditions.
  • Confirm planogram and SKU mapping are accurate.

Inventory integrity

  • Verify load accuracy to reduce mischarges.
