Hi Tim, I hadn’t found any threads talking about this kind of wifi issue, but I’ll look again. Where did you see that emlid were already working on this ?
@bide Thanks, I did try to reboot the AP, for completeness’ sake, but it’s not the problem. Or at least not the whole problem, see the screenshot below. The Reach usually just doesn’t see the network which is literally broadcast from the same room ; 3 other phones/laptops happily report full signal strength .
I also tried different power sources for the Reach : wall USB adapter, battery + stepdown regulator, and straight form the laptop. This last one is “interesting” : I can see the Reach obtains an IP from the router, but I can never ping the Reach, and after a minute the blue LED turns off then starts blinking fast.
