Hello all, I have an WR202E.

i have a dedicated router for it, a 2.4Ghz just called “Garage” mo weird names, no weird passwords, low security, everything to make it compatible with the cheapest and simplest WI-FI devices possible… I have also there connected my solar inverter and I can see it fine always… internet on it is also very fast even for 2.4Ghz.

Even tho, my WR202E does not like it… I configure it from the App, it accepts the connection, shows “Success” in the screen but there is when it just does not connect at all.

I’ve been using it manually but it does not return alone to the home, and don’t remember areas, it just passes again and again for the same places not being really effective.

I contacted the service for Belgium, very slow response and almost inexistent… even thinking on returning it.

What is your advise?

Hello! I have a Landroid Vision Cloud 4WD. I have been doing the parallel cutting pattern but recently changed to the checkerboard pattern. When it started mowing this morning (scheduled every Saturday morning), it cut on the same lines as last week and not the opposite direction. Is this because it only runs once a week? Does it need to mow two days in a row? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated as the manual isn't very helpful and can't find anything online except for on here. Thank you!

Does anybody know how to start an edge routine for just one area? Seems like if you start an edge routine in the app, it wants to edge all areas.

Thank you everyone for the support that I am receiving on my channel. It helps me continue to make better content.

Is anyone else having issues using the no vision zones feature? I can’t resize or move anything. It’s frustrating me. When I go to resize the zone It immediately defaults back to 0sq ft or I can’t move the zone where I need too.

Is there a work around?

Turf science has some counterintuitive findings that robot mower owners are stumbling into without realizing it:

- Frequent, low-volume clippings feed the soil. Mulching a small amount of leaf tissue daily returns nitrogen to the soil faster than bagging weekly clippings. Some studies show mulched lawns need up to 25% less fertilizer over a season.

- Cutting height controls root depth. Grass roots grow roughly proportional to blade height, so scalping it short shrinks the root system too, making the lawn more drought and weed prone. This is why a mower locked at a low fixed height can quietly stress warm-season grasses like St. Augustine or Zoysia that want 3"+.

- Daily mowing suppresses weeds through light denial, not just cutting them down. Weed seeds need a light trigger to germinate, and a dense, frequently-cut canopy blocks it better than a once-a-week gas mow ever could.

- Repeated pivot/tank turns compact soil in the same spot, crushing the pore structure roots need for oxygen and water. This is likely what's causing dead turning patches some owners report.

So, has your Landroid actually made your lawn thicker and healthier since switching, or introduced new problems like scalping or compaction? What cutting height are you running, and for what grass type? Curious if the "frequent mow" science is playing out in real yards.

Please share the video to get this update out there to others.
Thank you

As we head into fall, it's a good time to rethink mowing height. Cool season grasses generally benefit from a slightly taller cut heading into autumn since it encourages deeper roots and better cold tolerance. Warm season varieties often do well being gradually lowered toward the end of the season before dormancy sets in. The one third rule (never removing more than a third of blade height in a single cut) still applies year round, including with robotic mowers, so it is worth adjusting your schedule gradually rather than making a big change all at once.

Soil type, sun exposure, and grass variety all play a role too. A shaded, poorly draining area might need a different approach than an open, well drained section of the same yard. For those running robotic mowers, this is also a good time to check your mowing frequency settings, since letting grass grow a bit longer between cuts in cooler weather can actually help the lawn store energy for winter.

Curious what heights everyone is dialing in for fall, and whether you're adjusting mow frequency or zones alongside it. Always interesting to hear how different soil types and setups change the approach.

I have an m500 tending to our lawn at a holiday house abroad. It is the simplest lawn on earth: Completely flat, driveable stone border, no obstacles, one 90 degree corner, all other corners are about 120 degrees. It even has the spiky wheel attachmens for better traction (installed by the previous owner). All in all an easy enough one would think?

However the landroid keeps getting stuck in the one 90-degree corner there is and keeps driving over the wire. We have to call the gardener at least once a week to go and carry it back to base and start it up again.

All of that could easily be avoided if the Droid would just back up 1 meter and make a turn when encountering a problem.

Like if you sense that you drove out of boundary - well guess what? It means you can back up to get back into the boundary wire! How hard could that possibly be?

If you find a corner you cant figure out - well guess what? Just back out of it and go mow somewhere else instead of digging up the lawn!

Are these Devices really just meant for people who basically are home 24/7 to babysit their idiotic robot? Is there anything one can do to make these devices actually autonomous for months at a time? I have fine-tuned the boundary wire for weeks, but the Droid seems to find new ways to get himself stuck ever again, it is mind-boggling!

Moin, ich habe seit 2 Monaten den Rasenroboter Worx 308E. Mein Garten hat ca. 1100 qm. Ich habe 3 Zonen angelegt, und lasse immer nur eine pro Tag mähen. Beim Kauf dachte ich, ok, der 308er reicht, wird schon etwas mehr mähen. Nun mäht er aber die dritte Zone nur halb und fährt an die Ladestation zurück. Ich denke, die Software rechnet alle 3 Zonen zusammen, und meldet dann: Dritte Zone zu groß.

Meine Frage: Wie kann ich den 308er dazu bringen, etwas mehr als 800 qm zu mähen?
A) Bringt ein größerer Akku (5Ah oder 8Ah) etwas?
B) Gibt es eine App-Einstellung, an der ich das beeinflussen kann?

I'm looking at the Landroid models without perimeter wire and with the base station, but at the moment I don't have easy access to power in the main garden. Does anyone know if it's possible to have a mower that works in a back garden and then gets carried back and forth to it's garage dock every now and then when it needs charging? Or is drilling holes into walls and routing power out to an outdoor docking station the only workable option?
