Expanding your Zigbee smart home can lead to network instability if too many low-quality repeaters are added. Instead of enhancing connectivity, they can create congestion and dropped connections. To maintain a stable network, focus on quality repeaters, limit device numbers, and optimize your network layout.

• 01Zigbee networks can become unstable when oversaturated with cheap repeaters, leading to high latency and dropped packets.
• 02Smart bulbs can inadvertently disrupt the network if turned off at the wall switch, cutting power to critical repeater nodes.
• 03A single high-quality repeater per room is sufficient for optimal coverage, rather than relying on multiple low-cost devices.
• 04To improve network performance, ensure Zigbee and Wi-Fi channels do not overlap and bind devices to the nearest repeater.
• 05Investing in high-performance repeaters can significantly enhance network stability and device communication.

Improving Zigbee network stability can enhance the overall functionality of smart home devices, leading to better user experience.
