I turned off the fast roaming and there is no setting for bss. It somehow has made it worse. I tried restarting the router, the remote, nothing works. It is literally useless at this point.
Unfortunately instead of making the Dock, which is always powered on, the main device that sends out all commands (not just IR), they made the remote the main device. Otherwise the remote could communicate with the Dock using bluetooth, which is much less power hungry.
And less range. I can now control my whole house with the remote.
making the dock the primary signal source should be programmable via an update. Iām not sure if its on the roadmap
The dock will never be a replacement of the R3 as it cannot run the firmware it has complete different hardware. And dock as default which one? I have 4 in my house.

I can +1 this topic. Not only can it take a while to reconnect to wifi, sometimes it simply doesnāt at all. In these cases I need to restart the remote to get it connected again.
Wifi is 2.4Ghz on channel 6 and no other devices have issues connecting.
I also noticed it losing connection with the dock once or twice making me need to restart the dock.
Itās an awesome remote, but these connectivity issues really need some love.
(Using an activity to prevent sleep is nice, but just partly a workaround and definitely not a solution.)
I can +1 this topic as well. It indeed can take a while to reconnect to wifi, if it does. I also need to restart often.
Itās indeed awesome, but the connectivity issues make it very hard, wil stick to my Remote Two for now!
Yes unfortunately it has made mine a paper weight. I havenāt touched it in weeks and have gone back to my old remotes. I chalk this up to a learning experience and will monitor this sub for any future fixes but I am not holding my breath. In my opinion it seems to be a fundamental design issue with the remote. The battery isnāt capable of handling full time wifi connection.
