Jebao RW series Wireless Issue and Resolution

Dank_Shiz · 05/28/2015, 08:56 PM

I purchased (2) Jebao RW-8 and had them up and running in my tank for 4 months with no issues until the other day. I checked my pumps and saw that the master never came out of feed mode and when I tried switching it out it was stuck on "H" and I had the speed control was also stuck. After hours of playing wthe th the pumps powering them on and off pressing all the buttons until I was ready to riot I decided to get another power head and be done with it as my tank needed more flow ASAP! After taking the pumps out of my tank I plugged them in upstairs right next to each other to find out that the wireless controllers worked perfectly! Finally I figured out that my wireless router which sits right next to the tank was throwing the jebao controllers off!

Just wanted to post my experience which turned out to be an expensive one as I went out and bought an ecotech MP-10. But I must say I do love the ecotech pump!

Thanks for the post, i havent trouble out of mine yet, but they are physically only about 8 feet from my router, so at least now i know if i have troubles to try unplugging the router and checking.

Yeah by doing that and by moving the controllers right next to each other helps
