Looks (to me) that LaCrosse does not anticipate problems with the main players in mesh networking. Since people DO run into problems, there's a problem somewhere. Their support talks about the weather station being connected to the router before users load the smartphone app. Not having one, I have no idea when or how the user inputs SSID and password information into the weather station.
