Wi-Fi signal strength is definitely an issue with these units. Lots of good advice here so I won’t repeat. But I will add one thing that worked for me at 2 different locations. When you do the initial config, do it right by your router so that the signal strength is super strong. It will do a firmware update so be patient as that can take some time - maybe 10 minutes or so. No need to have the clock wired to your valves for the original install. When original install is done, move it to the garage and wire it up to your zones. Provided you have halfway decent signal strength there you should now have no issue reconnecting to the internet. Then go ahead and configure your zones and schedules with the Hydrawise app and you should be good to go.
Hydrawise is a very good system and is endorsed by many irrigation pros. The x2 is a good clock. But can be a bit finicky in the initial install.
