Comments about Product: This was very easy to setup, very easy to use. (My router is made by SMC in case you are wondering).
The outside temp is a little annoying in that you either have to wait for the temp to scroll across the bottom, or press a button on the back to see it. But pressing the button changes what is displayed so you have to keep pressing until it cycles back to what you want. It would be much better if it showed the outside temp (either from the web, or sensor) all the time.
Also, the remote sensor just stops talking sometimes. I have it no more than 10 feet from the display. I have not ruled out interference from something in my house, although I do not have anything weird, just cordless phones and WIFI
Also, the forecast info is displayed weird. You can either display the weather in chunks of morning, afternoon, evening, and night (it cycles). Or you can see it for the whole day. I wish I could see the day and night forecasts separate for the current day. There are other modes, but I can't get them to work as expected. (I only have a Masters in Electrical Engineering)
If you can get this on sale it is worth it, otherwise I cam going to say look for something else.
Comments about Product: their server took weeks to recognize their instrument; it was then impossible to get it to speak to the display. only buy if they send an engineer to connect it.
