New Reach Firmware 30 improves Reach compatibility with other receivers and software

Yes, when I write wi-fi disable option - I mean “Turn Wi-Fi off to save the battery power functionality” As I write wi-fi starts normally as wanted on every boot.
But there is problem with missing switch/options to disable wi-fi and etc. For clarification: there is situation when after reboot reach wi-fi is working as hot-spot but there is only enable wifi switch/option at www (and that switch doesn’t do anything). So I’m unable to switch off reach hotspot, or connect to another external wi-fi. That’s old bug, that been previosly cleared but now reappears.

edit: I checked on 30.1 fw and same that on 30.0
Also if reach is connected to external wi-fi and I use disable wi-fi option, after first reach power restart and wi-fi auto reconnect there is same bug and only visible option at 192.168.xxx.xxx/#/wi-fi is enable wi-fi.

Hi @rccam,

Could you probably elaborate on it a bit further by providing some screenshots or a screencast for illustration? You may share it with me by sending it to support@emlid.com. I’ll take your email and we’ll check with the devs on what’s not working fine.

We are having an issue with our RS2’s (6 total) not showing any connection or data in the Status overview window and also the Corrections portion. The RS2 still beeps like it is fixed or lost fixed. But there is no data stream for satellites or NTRIP. There was no issue last week when using the RS2’s, but today this has came up.

Ok so after a few hours of panic and headache, I have figured out that it is only the Bluetooth that is affected for us. If I switch to WiFi I can get corrections and satellite data.

Added info:
I have now flashed one of my units with 30.1 and it seems to function fine. It is odd to me that 4 out of or 6 units I could test had the same issue, all Bluetooth. Also did this update change the need to connect via setting in an iPhone? the units do not show up in my setting WiFi or Bluetooth, but show up in the Emlid Flow app.

Do they also work well over Bluetooth? Which version did you have before?

I think that this is just because all your devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.

Yes they work over Bluetooth, which is the main thing we use. I upgraded all 6 units to 30.1 on March 7, 2023.

Update: I have just flashed a second unit that is now working fine with Bluetooth and WiFi.
