I have my wifi router that's about 50+ feet away, but in my instance, I am using several wireless bridges, one of which is about 15 feet away from my grill with the control panel of the grill facing the wifi bridge unit. As far as the connection "dropping" I have seen where if you are in a dense location with lots of wifi traffic, your connection can get muddled. I think when I was setting up my wifi on the router initially, I was able to see the other routers SSID's and what channels they were broadcasting at. I ended up with using Channel 11 which seems pretty solid!!! You may need to get a network scanning app to see what other SSID's are broadcasting in your area and what channels they are using. There is such a thing as congestion in the wifi world and choosing a channel that's not congested can make a big difference!!! Additionally, any leaky microwave oven within your general vicinity can wreak havoc on the 2.4 GHz band...AND Panasonic used to make a 2.4 GHz Digital Spread Spectrum wireless house phone that would absolutely destroy the 2.4 GHz spectrum as it spread across the COMPLETE spectrum and jammed the signals of other devices!!! NO BUENO!!! If you live in a house that has metal siding, that can cause problems/blocking/shielding between your router and your grill, not to mention the grill probably has a diminutive inside the metal box!!! There can be any number of problems!!! I just wish Traeger had attached an external antenna for better reception!!!...and Here You Go!!!

Ironwood WiFi antenna?
Does anyone know where the WiFi antenna is located on the Ironwood D2 WiFire grill? I crawled underneath the hopper and looked, but nothing is visible other than the ventilated bottom cover of the auger and electronics housing. It seems that if the antenna is inside there, the surrounding metal...
