No one wants inaccurate data
You seem to miss the point of these stations. Alot of us don't use them for their forecasting ability, but rather logging data.
I personally really value knowing accurate rainfall amounts on my own property, accurate wind direction and speed on my own property, actual on site barometric pressure, etc etc.
I couldn't care less what my personal station says the forecast is, I want to see the raw data collected and logged for my own use.
Maybe it's because I'm an environmental scientist, but everyone I know with a personal weather station doesn't care about its forecasting function.
My experience is about 1-2 years before things start to fail. Rain gage always seems to go first.

I've got a similar unit. It's been working great for 5-6 years. I live in a small valley, I want to know the wind speed and temperature where I live, I don't care what it is 3 blocks away.
I have this and it is still working for more than 8 years without me needing to change the battery on the remote sensor.

What are you on about? These have a 2.4GHz antenna, all they pick up is 2.4, whether 5GHz is present or not is irrelevant.
Unlike you apparently, I have worked with these and plenty of other network hardware.
You must not have direct experience with THIS unit. You have to activate these using your phone connected via BT to the unit. If the unit was programmable itself, you would be correct. However, since you have to use your phone (which picks up both 5GHz and 2.4GHz), it requires additional work.

However, as mentioned by others, the solution is to simply turn off your 5GHz network in your router until these are setup (most newer routers have this functionality)

My experience with the La Crosse unit is that they are very lacking in their setup. The first unit I had came with a bad WIFI card, so they had to send me a replacement. However, figuring out if was a bad unit versus the myriad of solutions I tried to throw at it was time consuming and not fun.

They should be paying you to set up a weather station at your house. I'm sure the National Weather Service wants that data

WeatherXM out of Greece has a decent consumer station that sells your weather data that is still in it's early stages. It is pretty accurate in comparison to the two Davis Vantage 2 stations that I have deployed at my house.

This seems really cool, when I was a kid I would have loved this. Would be a great gift for any science minded child. I might grab a couple and keep them in reserve for gifts (and maybe use one for myself haha)

Run away. I have 3 Lacrosse weather displays with outdoor sensors. Their app is horrible. Like something a 12 year old did in his middle school app coding class.

All but one of the displays can no longer connect to the outdoor units. And two of the 3 lost their wifi connection, so they're basically a clock.

On top of that, all of the clocks run fast. A digital clock in 2020+ that can't keep time. They must have used the cheapest clock crystal that they could find and counted on wifi time syncs. See above.
