7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your ENVIO USB Wireless WiFi Adapter, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

  • Try a different USB port on your DVR/NVR.
  • Restart your DVR/NVR system.
  • Verify that your DVR/NVR model is listed as compatible and has the latest firmware.
• Cannot Connect to Wi-Fi Network:
  • Double-check the Wi-Fi password. Passwords are case-sensitive.
  • Ensure your Wi-Fi router is powered on and broadcasting a signal.
  • Move the DVR/NVR closer to the Wi-Fi router to improve signal strength.
  • Check if your Wi-Fi network is using a hidden SSID. If so, you may need to manually enter the network name (SSID).
  • Restart your Wi-Fi router.
• Intermittent Connection/Slow Speed:
  • Ensure the adapter's antenna is positioned optimally for signal reception.
  • Reduce interference from other electronic devices (e.g., microwaves, cordless phones).
  • Check for congestion on your Wi-Fi channel. You might need to change the channel on your router.
  • Verify that your internet service provider (ISP) is not experiencing issues.
