Hellooooo !!!
I have the robot but I have a room that the map is incomplete, would there be a way to complete the map of that room without having to do the entire house... thanks in advance 🙋🏻.
Hello, Concepción, thank you for visiting our website.
As far as we know, no, in general, the mapping of robots, especially those with laser navigation, is "everything followed", the complete map would have to be made, otherwise it will be interpreted as a different home.

Hello! I just bought the vacum pro 2 but I have a problem with the wifi. Living in a 3-story house, the signal from the router does not reach the basement, where I have a tp link installed that gives me a very strong signal but The robot does not recognize it like the cell phone does. How can I solve it?
Hello, Enrique, thank you for visiting our website.
In principle, the fact that the mobile phone has good reception does not necessarily mean that the robot has it equally good, although in the case you are mentioning, if the signal is strong, there should be no problem.
Possibly TP Link automatically assigns connected devices to the Wi-Fi band that provides the fastest speed (smart connect) and is trying to connect the robot to 5G instead of 2,4 GHz, check if this is the case ; If you have a mixed 5/2,4 band, you may need to split it into two to assign a pure 2,4 band.
All the best
Good,
I was thinking about buying this robot vacuum cleaner, but I see that it needs to be connected to Wi-Fi to be able to configure it, I don't have Wi-Fi in my apartment. Couldn't you use it without being connected to the internet?
Thank you.
Hello, Ana, thank you for visiting our website.
Yes, you can use it with the buttons at the top, although by not having a connection to the app, you would lose its advantages when it comes to customizing the cleaning.
All the best
