Title: Ipad 4 can't connect to PAW but ipad2 can!
Post by: Raven22 on June 11, 2018, 08:24:44 pm
I have 2 iPads running PAW. Both have run ok with the latest PAW software. Tonight I cannot get ipad4 to connect although it can see the PAW network. I then updated this machine to IOS 11.4 but that made no difference.  Things work fine on Ipad2 running a version of IOS 9. Can't think what could have affected the newer IPad to cause this.  Any thoughts welcome.
Update:  I think this may be because Ios11.4 cannot connect to unsecured networks.  There seem to be some solutions to this but none has yet worked for me. I might try to uninstall 11.4!

Not sure that the 11.4 update is the problem …

I've just tested one of mine and it's at 11.4 (I don't update the main one used for flight for reasons just like this!!) and it's connected fine to the unsecured network that my PAW has visible.

When connected, Sky Demon and the browser based stuff works as expected … the one used is an Ipad Air 2 of that makes any difference ….

Thanks.  I am not convinced either as it did not work tonight before I updated to IOS 4. Can't think what may have changed since I had this working a few days ago.

Two things to try
One is to do a full shut down and restart of the iPad4
Then, if needed, tell it to forget the the PAW network connection and reconnect

I fully charged the ipad4 overnight (was about 40%) and all seems to be well!!
