What Exactly is a Merged Network?

Mysa thermostats require a stable connection to a unique 2.4GHz network to function optimally. A merged network, on the other hand, combines the strengths of both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, seamlessly switching between them to provide the best connectivity experience. However, since Mysa devices are designed to work exclusively with 2.4 GHz networks, using a merged network might introduce connection challenges.

While most modern routers offer the flexibility to establish a dedicated 2.4 GHz network, some models may limit this functionality. For detailed instructions on configuring your network settings, consult your router’s setup and troubleshooting guides. It's worth noting that newer merged networks usually handle connections more efficiently, but older models could be at the heart of connectivity issues with your Mysa device.

Solutions for Enhanced Connectivity:

• Split Your Network: Consider logging into your router's settings or contacting your internet service provider to inquire about separating the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. This can often resolve the connection dilemma.
• Disable the 5 GHz Band: Check with your internet service provider to see if it’s possible to temporarily disable the 5 GHz frequency. This step can help avoid the router automatically switching bands during the setup process.
• Use a Guest Network: Setting up a guest network exclusively on the 2.4 GHz band can be a clever workaround. Guest networks are generally simpler to connect to and might just be the solution to your Mysa’s connectivity troubles.

By exploring these options, you can enhance your Mysa thermostat’s connectivity, ensuring a seamless and efficient heating experience in your home.
