I am getting weird results when I try to connect into the WAP's in my house with my Model S while it is parked in my garage.
First off, when it is scanning it finds a lot of SSIDs, more than I have ever seen in my house. I live in a low density neighbourhood with a 100' wide lot and I normally only see my own WAPs/routers plus the nearest neighbor. But my MS sees networks that my laptops, iPhones and iPads do not.
But it doesn't seem very successful in connecting to these networks - even to networks that show more than 1 bar. At times it will make the initial connection but then it will drop the connection after a while. Or it will say that it is connected to wifi but it doesn't seem to be able to pull any data. And one of my WAPs, which is in the bedroom right above the garage, will never consummate a connection with the MS, although my iPhone and iPad have no problem making a connection from inside the car.
Anyone else have similar results? Any suggested solutions other than putting a WAP in the garage?
Any downside to this situation, especially the "phantom" connection where it says it is connected to wifi but isn't able to pull any data? I guess this may affect my ability to see the charge level and remotely turn on climate, etc.
Maybe Tesla should have put an Ethernet connection on the HPWC:tongue:
