Wi-fi GS-911 not connecting to motorcycle
Peet Badenhorst:
Hi Alan and Wayne
We can confirm that there is something funny going on with the latest Windows 8.1.
It seems as if Microsoft was a bit too aggressive in their powersaving mode on the USB port.
So it happens sometimes that the software is still communicating to the GS-911wifi over USB and Windows 8.1 will just decide to put it into sleep mode to save power.
Kobus is looking into a workaround which we will incorporate into new versions of the downloader and PC wifi utility.
Regards

I just downloaded a firmware update for the GS-911 Wi-Fi. I tried getting my GS-911 to connect to my K1300S via the browser interface. Still no joy. I'm using my ASUS netbook with Windows 7 Home Premium (SP-1), which has all the latest PC-based downloads, and all the latest Wi-Fi downloads.
1. The PC-based interface works perfectly, either on the USB setup or on the Wi-Fi setup, so that is good.
2. When I try the Wi-Fi browser interface with the ASUS netbook, all I can get is "Error: Attempting to connect to this controller timed out," and the three possible reasons, none of which are true because I just connected via the PC-based interface. This happens whether I am trying to connect via USB, or via Wi-Fi, clicking on the appropriate "Open browser for this device" button. I am able to identify (beep) the device, however.
3. The GS-911 Wi-Fi app on my iPhone works perfectly with the device. This is really great!! Not only does it work with the Wi-Fi in my home network, or in a hotel parking lot, but it also works with the internal Wi-Fi on the device!! This is HUGE!
So I am left to wonder: what is the point of having the GS-911 Wi-Fi launcher on my ASUS Notebook, other than to check for updates? Is it designed to be used at all with a PC? Or not?
Thank you

Alan, I am wondering if there is a firewall setting problem with your ASUS, what Antivirus software do you have and does it have a firewall components ?
Try turning off AV and firewall to see if the problem continues
Peet Badenhorst:
Alan
What version of Internet Explorer is the ASUS running?
Please try the following and see if that makes a difference:
Set Internet options->Browsing history->Settings->Temporary Files->Every time I visit page

Peet: Thank you! IT WORKS!! I did not have to shut off my McAfee firewall. All I had to do was to make the change to IE that you recommended in your last post. That was all. Amazing. I just got done checking my R1200GSAdv, and then the K1300S. I even fired up the K1300S just to see the realtime numbers change.
The Autoscan function is greyed out, but I am guessing that we'll get that in an update. Oh yeah - I have IE9 on the ASUS netbook. Thanks again.
