Iphone/Ipad Wifi D2D connectivity
gman:
OK, so I just bought this GS-911 WIFI. Downloaded utility AP on windows PC, Iphone 5 and Ipad Air 2. Was able to connect PC to GS-911 with USB cable and had full functionality to 2007 BMW R1200RT (did brake bleed on newly rebuild ABS module). However, when I unplug USB and PC, I'm Having trouble getting connectivity to Iphone and Ipad. Expect GS-911 to communicate to IOs device through WiFi to get emergency code reading only. Message within AP at top of page on IOS device suggests I'm "connected to my IOS device network", but I also get a message in the body of the page that "no GS-911 WiFi devices are connected on this network".
Not sure what I'm doing wrong that prevents me from getting connected with the Ios devices.

First ensure you update the GS911 to the latest firmware, use the PC to do it, you can use either WiFi or USB to do the upgrade, when that is done let us know and then let us work out the IOS problem

Thank you for the response. I tried the iPhone 5s again today after charging the m/c battery, and all worked. I might have just been experiencing a low voltage condition on the M/c as the ignition voltage dropped off shortly after I made the 1st wifi connection attempt. I'll try the iPad tomorrow.
WayneC:
No worries, good to hear it works, make sure the WiFi is updated though, the firmware has been constantly improved, check your version
When doing diags testing I have a battery charger I use with the BMW accessory socket to minimise battery drain, it is how many pro workshops operate.
On my model it is easy to disconnect the headlight as well which on extended sessions is a wise idea
gman:
thank you. I was expectinting the option of being able to turn off the headlight during testing, however that never poped up as an option.
So to update the firmware, I should use the PC and this will be updating the firmware in the GS-911 correct? Is there a latested version of firmware that I should be checking for?
