Internet Connection
The smart-me system and its hardware always requires a direct internet connection to the cloud. Locally, you must therefore set up a WLAN 2.4GHz with an internet connection. 5Ghz is not supported because of the low range.
Internet access can be solved as follows:
Provider offer via cable from Swisscom, Sunrise or other local Internet provider and 2.4GHz WLAN router. (usually supplied by the provider)
Create Internet via mobile phone SIM card and 2.4GHz WLAN router.
Failure levels
Provide multiple access points with the same SSID and password. All smart-me products automatically select an access point with Internet connection.
Store multiple WiFi networks on the smart-me device: Can I use my device with multiple WiFi networks?

Hardware requirements
Main points*:
Standard: 802.11 b / g / n
WiFi frequency: 2.4 GHz
*details can be found in the technical data of the products.
Specifications as required:
Number of supported clients in parallel.
Clients:
The supported clients define how many devices can talk to the access point or router at the same time. The number must match your installation. There are cost-effective access points that meet the client count of 200+. The number can be found in the device data sheet, usually under "Max. Clients" or "Concurred Clients".
Possible hardware components
Router
The router is the source that connects to the internet/provider and converts it to LAN (RJ-45) or WiFi 2.4 Ghz / 5 GHz.
Accesspoint
Accesspoints convert a router signal transmitted via LAN (RJ-45) into a WiFi 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz.
Repeater
Repeaters amplify an existing WiFi signal to extend the range.
