Crashing connection after update 1.6 unworkable now

Mightyviruz

Hi,

I have the Asiair Pro for about 5 months now... in the beginnen i added the Vonets for better wifi signal but that didn't work so i got a Beryl MT1300 instead.
That worked great and i had a stable connection.
Used the AAP on different nights and worked perfect.

Untill i did the Asiair Pro update (1.6) this week.
Now my connection keeps getting interrupted and the AAP keeps reconnecting to try to connect again.
Strange thins is that the AAP netwotk itself is difficult to find and whennit does and tries to connect it says thenpassword is wrong (i changed nothing). Then suddenly is does connect (same password) and then i connect through the Beryl network and it works for 2 minutes... i can platesolve, focus en slet to target and then the signal is lost again... i have to reboot everything to get a signal again.. but after 2 minutes connection fails again and there is no way to getting it working again.

So far i tried these setups:

AAP --> Beryl network wireless --> Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ / Apple Ipad

AAP --> Beryl network with cable --> Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Apple Ipad

AAP --> straight to Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ /Apple Ipad

I've now ordered a longer utp cable to connect the AAP straight to my home network to see of this helps.

Before the update it worked perfectly with the Beryl network and i could spend hour after without loosing the signal and now it doesn't work in anyway anymore.

This ia very frustrating..could it be defect/broke?

Help please... thank u

The first thing to do is a sanity check. The Beryl has three Ethernet ports, one of them is a dedicated WAN port for connecting to a cable modem and other routers. Do not use that port. Use the WAN port only to connect between the Beryl and the home router. Be sure to use one of the two LAN ports to connect the Beryl to the ASIAIR.

If that is not the problem, the next thing to check is to get really close (like centimeters, not meters away) to the ASIAIR, and connect the iOS device directly to the ASIAIR's hotspot by selecting the hotspot in the iOS WiFi Setup.

Launch ASIAIR and if you succeed in connecting to the ASIAIR WiFi, check the Wired Ethernet item in the ASIAIR Setup window (the one with the WiFi icon). Does it show "Connected?"

If it shows "Not connected," then you are still using WiFi to connect between ASIAIR and the Beryl, and that will never work very well. The whole point in using the Beryl is so that all connections to the ASIAIR is made through the ASIAIR's LAN port, instead of going through the flakey ASIAIR WiFi radio.

If the Wired Ethernet shows "connected," tap on the "connected" text on the right of the menu, and you should see an IP for the ASIAIR in a different window. That should be a recognizable address of your home network. Note this address down.

Now switch the iPad's network back to your home network, and relaunch the iOS ASIAIR app. If ASIAIR app still cannot find the ASIAIR box, tap on the "Connect via IP" text and give it the IP address noted earlier.

Once you have successfully connected, it is advisable to go the router and reconfigure the home router to use that as the fixed address of the ASIAIR. This way, it does not change over time and you can connect via the same IP address in the future. This same address is also the address to access the Samba file server on the ASIAIR to download your images (using macOS Finder>Go>Connect to server... menu).
