RS3 connection to RS3 via USB-C cable

Reach RS3 Getting started
1

I am pretty frustrated with my iPhone 15 not being able to stay connected to my RS3. I tried the USB-C to USB-C method with no luck. Does anyone have experience with this method? Do you have to go through the same process as connecting to the hotspot which loses connection? Any help would be great! Thanks!

this did not work for me. I gave up and bought a SIM card. IOS is just to much work to connect and as Pointsetter said earlier to much button smashing only to have it disconnect. I tried the ethernet connection with USB-C to USB-C and that didn’t work either…

Hi @cyclonedroneservices,

Welcome to our Community Forum.

The Reach devices allow connections from mobile device hotspots. That’s not only with an iPhone, that’s for every Wi-Fi. You can mention: From the Reach side, we can connect to only 2,4 GHz connections, but it can be done once you turn on the Maximize capability option. It looks like the limitation is on the iPhone’s side. Still, I’ve looked on the Internet and found a couple of suggestions that might work:

  1. Turn off Auto-Lock:
  • Go to Settings > Display & Brightness.
  • Set Auto-Lock to Never. This will prevent the screen from locking and interrupting the hotspot connection.
  • Go to Settings > Personal Hotspot, and try to keep this screen open while using the hotspot to help maintain the connection.
  1. Disable Low Power Mode:
  • Go to Settings > Battery.
  • If Low Power Mode is enabled, turn it off, as this can interfere with the hotspot signal.

Thanks Victor-
I did not realize that about the Bluetooth maximize capability limitation.
Apple says to turn that off if you don’t want to drop connection with your hotpsot, let’s say when you are connected to a windows laptop. I have experienced this and Apple is correct.
Like others I wanted to be able to use my iPhone 15, I tried the USB-C to USB-C method and it did show it as an Ethernet connection but would still not process the data in to the Emlid flow app. I gave up and bought a Tello SIM card and it works great with my Tripletek tablet.
