Full Answer
What is a rab on a phone?
The RAB acts as a node on the network. What this means is that you must connect to it through another Avi-on device when using your mobile phone to set up the wifi.
What happens if my RAB doesn't have a strong connection?
If your RAB does not have a strong connection with BOTH the bluetooth switch AND the router, it will not set up. Or, it may set up, but then not have a stable connection to the cloud.
