iPad connection instability

Post by jalquiza »

I have a RaceCapture 4 and an iPad mini latest gen, everything is fully updated (the RC firmware, RC app, iPadOS). I'm often having repeat connection dropping.
The only way to get a connection is to fully crash the app, power cycle the RC unit, connect to the wi-fi, then open the app. This works about half the time, and if I disconnect or close the app, I have to redo the entire process.

This also happens when trying to connect my iPhone. Connection to Mac via USB is fine. I've tried the wi-fi reset script from the wiki.

Hi,

Try updating the app to at least 2.10.5 - we introduced fixes that improved wifi connection stability.

Thanks, and let us know if that works for you.
