Door Entry DS-KV6113-WPE1(C) constantly disconnects from WiFi?

[JB1970]

Wanted to say the very same thing with the 10W. Also for me the dc ps is only 1m from the device (and an outdoor one). Unfortunately there's no way I can pull out a PoE ethernet cable for the front door camera.
I assume the wifi hardware is just c**p.

In all honesty I didn't try a different power adaptor with mine but I did check for volt drop and the unit worked reliably for a few months on WiFi, aside from the odd lockup requiring a simple power toggle to resolve. It has been on PoE now for a few months. I wouldn't consider installing one on WiFi for a customer as I wouldn't want the hassle of return visits....

I start to suspect the connection quality is dependent on temperature. On hot summer days there were connection drops every 1-3 days (the device is exposed to direct sunlight for most of the day but the power supply is not). Since it is colder the connection seems much more stable. I wonder what will happen on the very cold days.
