Verified Purchase:Yes
Tried repeatedly to get this unit to connect no luck, instructions not helpful. Disappointed to to see the max wind speed cycles to often and it is unknown over what period it record and period of average wind speed. I bought this unit to know the max over say a 24 hour period. Where is north on the wind direction I assume at 12:00? Between the speed recording, poor instructions and not being able to use the internet connection this was a disappointing purchase. Not recommended.

For full functionality, we do recommend using both the backup batteries and the included power adapter. When operating on battery power alone, the backlight is only available momentarily for 10 seconds by pressing the backlight button. We recommend reviewing the suggestions in the following link for assistance with setting up the Wi-Fi feature: https://support.acurite.com/hc/en-us/articles/360050596233-Direct-to-Wi-Fi-Weather-Station-Setup-
Actually in the last 10 years I've bought 4 of these units, two for myself and one for each of my kids. This particular unit is for my daughter and her family. I think it's not only fun to keep track of your weather data but a great motivator for kids to learn about meteorology and not to mention the educational value of setting it up. These units hold up and work well.
