(More customer reviews)This seemed to be what I had been looking for for a long time. We purchased it. We had trouble with setup. The gateway registered easily on my computer. The display device refused to register after repeated attempts, giving us this error message "Registration failed. Press any button on the Wireless Display to clear the fail message. Please try the instructions below again. If you are unable to register a Wireless Display after following the steps below multiple times, try factory resetting your Wireless Display...."
We carefully followed the instructions, including the troubleshooting steps to try when having trouble getting the display to register. After an hour and a half we gave up. The next day we were successful. When the device began giving us the weather it was not accurate. It was not even close. When setting up the device one needs to choose a weather location near where you live. The locations I could choose from were the same locations as those for known amateur weather stations. We chose a location very close to our house, but the forecasts weren't even close to reality. The predicted temperatures displayed for the current day and the next few days were always about 20 degrees colder than it really was. The WD-3210U's forecast for today, as observed early in the morning, said a chance of snow. The Weather Underground site on the internet predicted 4-6 inches of snow. We got 6 inches. I went online and changed our location to Juneau International Airport. That's about 9 miles away but our weather is nearly the same. The temperatures and predictions were still way off. I called our local National Weather Service office and talked to them about this device. They believe that the data being used by WeatherDirect isn't real-time weather data, hence the lack of accuracy. They told me that for many states other than Alaska it would probably work OK, but that we are so far north the data they use won't correlate to what's really happening up here. So, the WD-3210U will be sent back. I'm very disappointed. We also weren't successful in reaching technical support by telephone.
One last detail that I should mention is the fact that the designers of this device made a huge mistake by deciding not to have the outside temperature permanently displayed. To get the outside temperature, you have to watch the scrolling information, at the bottom, scroll through the current day, and the next 3 days, before it finally gives you the outside temperature. Or you can walk up to the display and push a button to see the outside temperature. I find it incredulous that the time of the day is permanently displayed, but not the outside temperature. I guess they thought they were designing a clock, not a weather instrument. This company does make an excellent device that always shows the outside temperature, without the predictions (which didn't work for our area).
