I have my URC Remote TRC-1080 on 2.4Ghz connected to Ruckus Unleashed Wifi.

It works 80% of the time. Commands are quick and responsive, but sometimes the Remote delays the commands. I have to wait for the First command to be executed and then press the Remote Key for the next Command. This behavior is with all the remote commands.

I have tried switching the Wifi Channel from 1 to 11, doesn't help. The Wifi is dedicated to this remote. I have a static IP set for the Remote and the Wifi also has a static IP.

I have to Remove the battery from the Compartment and Reinstall the battery so that the Remote works Normal.

Does anyone have insight as to what could be going wrong here.

I am using Total Control 2.0, The Base Station is a MRX-15 with a Static IP

This is how URC recommends you set up your TRC1080's wifi:

1.  set the remote to dhcp and reserve the ip in your router
2.  create a 2.4GHz only wifi network for the remote and connect to that
3.  use channel 1,6, or 11
4.  set channelization to 20
5.  use WPA2 Only/AES for encryption
6.  don't put any spaces in your SSID

Post your info/ problem in the Control Room, you'll probably get a lot more feedback.

They used to. Its recommended DHCP for wifi devices. With reservations.

Is it on their recommended list?
There is no truth anymore. Only assertions. The internet world has no interest in truth, only vindication for preconceived assumptions.

Try finding an excuse for adding a two-way device that will keep the WiFi connection from timing out.

Static for the base/processor, dhcp for the interfaces.

Hi Sir,

I am using a MRX-15(Static IP) and a TRC-180 (DHCP Reserved).

I have followed all the instructions that you have written for configuring the TRC-1080 Wifi. But Sometimes the TRC-1080 Lags in issuing Commands and I have to literally take out the battery and wait a few seconds and then reinstall the battery and then it starts working fine.

Can you please let me know what could be going wrong.

Could be a bad remote. Happens. Call tech support. Best to use URC's dealer website for better, faster responses, or the dealer Slack chat room or the dealer Facebook page.

Could be a bad remote as Tucker suggested.  I've never used a Pepwave router with a URC system though, so that could be your issue.

Your first post stated that commands were delayed. By this you meant they stopped being issued until you pushed "the Remote Key for the next Command." This is not a delay -- it is complete interruption of a macro.

But if the macro has ten steps, and only, say, the first one is issued, are all nine additional commands issued when you hit the button for the second command in the macro? Or have I totally misunderstood what you mean?

Then in Post 11 you say the TRC-1080 sometimes lags in issuing commands, and the cure for that is removing and reinstalling the battery. This IS NOT a lag in issuing commands. This is a complete stop of a series of commands. Since "repair" of this condition involves removing and replacing power, it is not true that there is "sometimes a lag in issuing commands." No, instead it's a complete stop of issuing commands.

I don't know if these details will make any difference to how your remote works, but it might matter that you're saying lag (slight delay) when you mean complete stopping. Surely those are two very different things and the cure for each would be different from the other.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.

Have you ever seen a TRC1080 let alone work with one?
