1.6 Beta on iPhone 11 running 14.5.1 - Can no longer see ASIAir at all

roar

Tonight was not a good night for me and the ASIAir Pro.

I updated to the latest version of the 1.6 Beta on my iPhone running 14.4.3 (I think)
Firmware update went fine on the ASIAir
It was business as usual to start the night, but I was struggling to stay connect to the ASIAir on my iPhone
Tried to connect some more from inside, but it wouldn't find the the ASIAir on my phone
Brought everything inside unplugged all the devices from the ASIAir including the TP-Link, connecting straight to the ASIAir Wifi from 6 inches away for all further testing trying to rule everything else out.
Tried on my iPad 2 running iOS 12.5.2 with the 1.6 Beta App, it would not find the ASIAir when scanning
Went back outside and it would connect, move back inside and it would drop (I use a TP-Link extender)
Came back in, updated the iOS on my phone to 14.5.1 and now I can't connect at all with my iPhone
Tried my iPad2 iOS 12.5.2 with the Beta app, now I can't connect at all with my iPad
Took out my back-up Micro-SD card running an older version of ASIAir, uninstalled the Beta App from my phone and iPad, neither will see the ASIAir when they scan
Put my 1.6 MicroSD Card back in the ASIAir, iPhone still will not find the ASIAir
The iPad running the non-Beta app can now see the ASIAir but I get the message my App is out of date, which makes sense
Feeling like I'm at a loss at the moment and the clouds have rolled in, so I'm going to call it a night

Is there a way to "reset" the ASIAir? I figured putting in my old MicroSD card would do the trick? But that won't connect to my iPhone or iPad. The "reset" button on the ASIAir does nothing, if I hold it down for 5 seconds or 10 seconds.

I seem to be back up and running on the 1.6 beta and the iPad running 12.5.3… my iPhone running 14.5.1 still cannot see the ASIAir.

Please see my note posted here (post #5):

When Apple added more security to iOS, a bug in ASIAIR stopped it from identifying ASIAIR devices on the network (even if you give ASIAIR app full network permission). You could still find the ASIAIR by manually entering the IP address, however.

The ASIAIR v1.6 TestFlight Build number 13 (appeared this morning USA west coast time) fixed the bug, and you should again be able to pick the ASIAIR using the name that you have given it as the Wireless Hotspot in ASIAIR (Pro) Settings.
