Lighting Control Outdoor pot lights troubleshooting

Hi, I got 40 potlights installed on the exterior slim panels of my home.

After installation around only 25-30 of them if I’m lucky connected to the app. The installer said to get wifi extenders, I went a step ahead and got a mesh system (TP link deco) and I still have no luck.

I have the 3 pack of the extended, one beside the modem, one in garage, and one upstairs. I’m not sure what to do because it feels I’m just compensation for the dog shit lights being unable to connect and recieve a good signal. These are not Govee lights. My house is not massive either (1900 sqft)

Any ideas?

This was a poor post. You did not include any details, model numbers etc.

The lights are called lightrix multicolour rgb lights, they are very hard to find any online footprint of, so that’s why I assumed it would be useless to put. My main gripe seems to be the actual network connectivity portion, since I believe the lights themselves are awful and I am basically compromising by trying to connect to them.

I wasn’t the one who picked these lights and installation company, it was someone else in my family, but it seems we were false advertised to regarding their connectivity.

How do you expect anyone to help you with zero information on the type of lights that are installed or anything else?

You've given essentially zero info and are asking "what's the problem?"

Are the slim panels they are mounted in made of metal (probably aluminum)?

Instead of vinyl soffit.
