RS2 wifi hotspot keeps dropping after 15 min

Reach RS2 / RS2+ Getting started
1

I have RS2 and have connected to home wifi with my smartphone (android) and all works and connecting phone to RS hotspot is fine but when trying to connect them outside home wifi range the connection keeps dropping and the unit has to be restarted before connection can be restored. RS has hotspot and single light on and I can work for a moment and even if phone background light goes off or a call comes in, it looses connection.

Firmware is 2.20.7 and app is up to date

On few occations app say that the password is incorrect - it’s not.

Really need some help quickly.

I’m grateful for all the help.

Not sure i follow. Are you trying to connect to RS2 at the outer edge of your homes wifi with your phones hotspot or the RS2`s hotspot?

Hi Mari,

Can I ask you to send me the Full System report generated on this unit in PM? It’ll help us to investigate further.
