I’m having the same significant wi-fi issue as described in various ways all over these forums. My explaination and plea for help:
Reach RS+ is locked into hotspot mode, when I try to connect to the wi-fi network that was previously used, the blue light on the RS+ blinks several times, then the RS+ stops it’s hotspot generation momentarily, the reachview app / browser loses connection to the hotspot, then the RS+ quickly reverts to hotspot mode.
Thank you, that thread is helpful. The wifi connection requires several turn off + turn on of the rover in order to break out of the hotspot creating. Not the best solution, but I assume when the developer Reachview updates are published as stable, with the wifi connection allowance period is increased, that this connection will be more reliable.
I was able to update to 2.15.5 and it appears to have resolved the networking issues that I was having. I tested with both my Pixel 2XL on pie and my iPad 2017. Switching between base and Rover continuously and that never failed to pull up the emlid splash screen or require re-entering the password. another thing that it appears to have resolved is that I can now connect to the receivers through my Verizon tower router. I haven’t tried with hotspot from my phone or tablet yet
