A growing number of users are voicing concerns about the functionality of outdoor hotspots, specifically a sought-after Helium model. Over the past few months, frustrations have mounted as complaints about dwindling rewards arise, raising questions about possible project failures.
Many users report that their outdoor hotspots have stopped providing earnings while their indoor counterparts continue to thrive. One concerned user stated, "The outdoor one was making IOT rewards until that stopped 4-5 months ago."
Recent gains in data offload and connected subscribers have led to mixed responses in various forums. A forum member rebutted, saying, "It's hitting new ATH for data offload and connected subscribers almost every day now." This divergence in experiences points to potential troubleshooting needs rather than an outright shutdown of the project.
Many users are unaware of necessary maintenance procedures. According to another commenter, "Youβll need to do some troubleshooting to see why it stopped working." Key suggestions include:
Location Re-assertion: If you own an outdoor hotspot, ensure you're verifying your location properly.
Device Updates: Regularly update your hotspot app to maintain optimal performance.
Consult HeliumGeek: Look up hotspot status for verification issues affecting PoC rewards.
Comments show a mixture of optimism and frustration. While some users experience issues earning tokens, others affirm their hotspotsβ performance:
"Youβve got things mixed up both should earn HNT tokens." This renewed clarification might lead others to re-evaluate their setups and processes.
"I haven't really followed the project that closely if it's a dead project, fine. I just donβt know." - A user expresses uncertainty about the viability of the outdoor hotspot.
π Outdoor hotspots may require troubleshooting to regain functionality.
