The iPAD is as per the iPhone, basic functions inbuilt to the GS911 & service functions via cloud services

Full local off line functionality requires the PC & GS911 Diagnostics Application using WiFi or USB connection

Hi, you could try the following:
Either.
-Create a hotspot with your phone(either android or iPhone),
       then connect both the gs 911 WiFi and your tablet(the tablet should connect by itself to your own iPhone if it’s on the same Apple ID) on the same hotspot.
Or:
- simply create a hotspot on your iPhone, make sure you save the WiFi network on the gs911wifi so that it will connect by itself when you switch to infrastructure mode. No need for the tablet.

I have an old outdated PC running windows 10

I would not take chatter that IOS does not play well with GS911 with a grain of salt, too much ill informed chatter

Re the thought of the PC with W10 being outdated, BMW does not support W11 for Dealer diagnostics & the most reliable dealer systems I have seen have been W7 & W10 on older PC's so I dont look down my nose at W7 or W10
