an office boiler issue

It does not matter about the make, its an excuse why its doing stuff that I want to run past folk. The controller device is wireless, and the folk looking after the boiler are suggesting that the office wifi is causing the problem of it not keeping in touch with the main boiler. Seems a bit of a lame excuse to me. OK its not new, but the landlord seems to me to be making excuses cos it will either cost him too much to fix it, or they really have no idea why its losing its communications and then theboiler reverts to a kind of safe default which is basically frost prevention.

I've certainly had that the other way round Brian, twice in fact where some 'other' equipment using the general WiFi band was affecting WiFi signals very badly (very restricted range). One was one of those TV signal senders and another a TV surround sound system that had wireless rear speakers.

Both were proved by using a little USB dongle I bought (called 'Wi-Spy' I think) that turned your PC / laptop into a narrow band spectrum analyzer and that showed these signals walking all over the WiFi channels. You can do it by switching off all other equipment but that won't work if the offending devices is next door.

It was fun to show someone the WiFi band and then put a mug of water in their microwave and they could tell me from the analysers when it was on or off.

p.s. It may have been an earlier version of these:

Quite possibly.

I presume the batteries in the wireless controller have been checked/changed, if appliccable?
