Hi again Planespeaker,
Thanks for the feedback.
Please don’t take it out on your Rosetta. To be quite blunt the fault lies with Android and your Device Developer - It’s nothing whatever to do with PilotAware.’
Remainder of post edited significantly after an epiphany! - see belowI agree with James, your Tablet
is clearly already connected to the PilotAware WiFi Hotspot, but you can’t get past that point because the QR Screen is blocking progress. I initially had no idea what was generating the QR code or what it was for, and I have been an Android User for years. I currently use a Samsung Galaxy S9+, so not the most modern Android device, but running Android 10 and I can honestly say I have never seen that ‘QR’ response to a WiFi or App Connection before on any device. (I also use iPads in flight - and to type this response to the Forum, so it’s definitely a new one on me!)
Logging onto the PAW Home Screen via the 192.168.1.1 URL is of course a completely separate issue carried out via your (presumably Chrome) browser once you have established a solid WiFi Connection, and is nothing to do with the WiFi Connection per se, though it might well trigger the ‘Internet may not be available’ warning - which James has described and which is what I was referring to in my earlier post, I just couldn’t recollect the wording. In James’s screenshots, the system is warning you that you are trying to connect to a site without internet (which may be dodgy). If you accept the risk and acknowledge the lack of internet access by clicking on the ‘Keep WiFi Connection’ button, your device should simply remember this whenever you try to connect to PAW in future.
However I’m now sure that isn’t the problem in your case!After posting, it occurred to me that you obviously
can’t scan the ‘QR’ from the device it’s displaying on, which got me thinking. Out of interest, I scanned the QR code from your screenshot with my Galaxy S9+ and magically, up pops a button on my screen which says ‘Tap here to connect to this WiFi network’. Clicking on the button, my phone attempts to find the WiFi Hotspot for
your PilotAware, which is obviously not present on my phone, so it just ignores the instruction. That confirms James’s comment that the QR code is intended to be scanned
by a different phone or tablet to allow
that device to connect to the same WiFi access point (but why make it so complicated? If you want to connect more than one device to your PAW you simply connect each in turn to the PAW WiFi Hotspot!).
That all being the case, however, simply clicking ‘
Cancel’ should delete the QR screen, leaving your tablet connected to your Rosetta. If you click ‘Forget’, I’m guessing it forgets the WiFi Hotspot- so you are back to Square 1. If I’m correct, you then just need to open your browser and do the 192.168.1.1 bit as per my earlier post, and of course connect EasyVFR ready to go flying - but that’s an area I can’t easily help you with (the EasyVFR setup, not the flying) but as stated earlier, I know a man who can if you need help.
Hopefully this is now the
correct answer
.

Peter
