I would never use wifi where I can connect via a faster more reliable cable connection first - so I always USB to the PC, does it look for the live time and date (thus using the PC wifi connection to ensure the time is spot on?)

Than as all the advanced features are talking back to base (using wifi these days) its good practise to work the right way

WiFi is faster than USB & it is not less reliable than USB, it is used in pro workshops to avoid cable mishaps, only programming requires LAN cable, correct time is provided by the PC or a time server set up in a pro workshop network

I still don't see why the new software was not written to manage this as the older programs did, just 911 unit to your PC and all was good.

Smart move setting up the WiFi extender, it opens up the ability to use cloud or local PC service routines as well as remote assistance which we use in pro workshops at times to look at issues without having to travel to the workshop
