I’m ready to get rid of my 590...Controller is fiddlesticked! My third cook for company ruined! In the oven now...Ninety bucks worth of plate ribs in the oven after 8 hrs!

It's frustrating when a product doesn't preform as expected, my recommendations are to contact recteq and explain what's happening and to see what their recommendations are.I’m ready to get rid of my 590...Controller is fiddlesticked!

Actually I’ve soken to most all of the techs including Zach who’s the lead tech and one by one they try to walk me through reconnecting to the wifi which I now know as well as them. Done it many times. On the rib cook it not only dropped the connection several times in and out but it told me that the temp was suddenly rising which went from 250 to 285 in seconds which makes me think it’s the controller itself but they don’t want to send me a controller so now they’re telling me to buy a wifi signal extender because they don’t think it’s the controller! BS! I should have kept my traeger. Thx for the concern though...It's frustrating when a product doesn't preform as expected, my recommendations are to contact recteq and explain what's happening and to see what their recommendations are.
Wish you were closer, I'd be happy to take it off your hands.Actually I’ve soken to most all of the techs including Zach who’s the lead tech and one by one they try to walk me through reconnecting to the wifi which I now know as well as them.

This interferes into my normally being lazy strategy.Stay old school and just say no to WiFi and apps and all that crap.
You shouldn't have to go through the wifi setup again once the grill was originally connected to your wifi. contact recteq on the broken antenna for a replacement.I hadn't used my wifi remote app for a handful of smokes and I found out it wouldn't connect on the last smoke. No biggie. I checked and there's a revision to the app and I noted the antenna on the controller was also broke off. I have a longer antenna laying around. But, I've been too lazy to go thru the setup for the wifi today. I just tossed the brisket point on and set it manually. It's not all that much work to walk 10 steps out the door and set the Bull temp.
I have some of the same issues. I cannot get the WiFi to work on my 590. I've spoken with someone from Rec Tec who recommended a WiFi extender so I went out to purchase one. Tried it this weekend and I'm still having the same issues. Tried using 3 different phones Google Pixel 3a, Samsung Galaxy 20, and an iPhone 8+.I’m ready to get rid of my 590...Controller is fiddlesticked! My third cook for company ruined!

What is a "Meater"?...
Just ordered a Meater that was recommended since I cannot get the WiFi to connect on my 590 and return the WiFi extender.
