at the time, or the nearby WI-FI interference is serious, and it needs to be optimized from the
following aspects:
1) If the router is a normal 2.4G, it is recommended to log in to the router to optimize the WI-FI
settings. Take the TP-Link router as an example: select the band bandwidth 20M (NETGEAR
router: enable 20/40MHz coexistence).
2) iBaby is too far away from WI-FI, or there are too many middle partition walls. It is
recommended to try it near the WI-FI signal.
3) The router is heavily loaded at the time, and the router is powered off and restarted.
4) The router should be cool and not too old.

iBaby MonitorUser Manual

Question 3 The picture of the device is fuzzy. How to adjust the resolution?
Answer: You can adjust the resolution of the device in the APP Settings - Display Settings page.
The image quality corresponding to “Excellent” is the highest, 1080P effect, but the occupied
network bandwidth is also relatively large. If it is an Apple mobile phone, when the vertical
screen is displayed, the screen is enlarged. It is recommended that the mobile phone be viewed
horizontally, the picture is clearer, and the viewing angle is wider.
