Installation Tips for WiFi Doorbells: Optimal Range and Stable Connection

As an installer, you know a WiFi doorbell is more than a camera on the wall. Installations must be reliable, stable, and user-friendly.

‍

1 |  Choose the Right Location for Maximum Signal Strength

Success depends on WiFi stability:

‍

Distance to router

Closer is better for stable connection.

Obstacles

Thick walls, metal, and concrete reduce signal.

Height and angle

150–160 cm at eye level, with a clear camera view.

‍

‍

2 |  Use Dual-Band WiFi and Mesh Networks

Modern WiFi doorbells like the Fasttel Commander support dual-band WiFi:

‍2,4 GHz
Greater range, ideal for long distances or thick walls.

5 GHz
Faster transmission and less interference for busy networks.

Enhance coverage in larger homes for stable connectivity everywhere.

3 |  Minimize Interference

WiFi interference is a common problem. Pay attention to:

Other wireless devices:

Baby monitors, microwaves, or nearby WiFi networks can affect the signal.

Metal and glass:

Avoid placing the doorbell behind metal fences or heavy glass, which can block or weaken the signal.

Weather resistance:

Choose models with an IP65 rating or higher for outdoor installation. Fasttel doorbells are built to withstand rain, wind, and sunlight.
