SkyTrak not connecting network mode

[Jasonbush23]

It says when I go through the wizard I am getting the solid yellow light showing that I've connected to my wifi but then Skytrak does not connect on the next screen when I close that screen? Anyone else having this issue?

Yes, the most recent update has caused major issues connecting in network mode.

[Jasonbush23]

Will it eventually let you connect? A few days ago I connected and played WSG no issues. Hopefully they figure out the fix quick.

I gave up and went back to a USB connection, which sucks because it's much more unreliable. I think we have to wait for SkyTrak_Seth Seth to get things fixed.

Ive been finding the same thing as jrz. back to usb for now.

[Jasonbush23]

So you guys use a laptop or pc not iPad? Is it possible to connect it to USB to iPad?

I'm not sure about the usb to iPad, but I think a lot of people are connecting to a gaming computer for their simulations.

I use an iPad, and have not been able to network connect since the update either. I tried for about an hour one day, even trying to use the online chat to get connected. Something eventually happened that I could not even find the skytrak device under the iPad's wifi settings which then necessitated resetting my router and iPad. I was able to eventually connect in direct mode again but have been apprehensive to attempt network mode again as I usually have a finite amount of time to go hit balls in the garage and can't afford to spend more than a couple minutes setting the whole thing up.

If you can't find the device in the wi-fi list, then chances are it's already in network mode. Since you got it back to direct mode somehow, try that connection and then progress to network mode using the new app.

I have had no issues connecting since the update. I did however change my setup to plug the skytrak directly into a USB charger instead of my computer. The device was defaulting to USB mode when connected to computer. I turn on my skytrak and wait a few seconds, and then open the skytrak software or tgc interface and it connects.

I have the same issue. I've tried resetting my Skytrak several time and nothing works...just sits with a solid yellow light. I've just been using USB as well.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

Can you try resetting your SkyTrak unit (hold a paper clip in the bottom reset hole for about 10 seconds - all lights will turn solid yellow). That will clear the old network credentials. Start from sratch in the new app and see if that works.

[peesh23]

I have tried resetting the unit 5-6 times and each time it gets stuck with a solid yellow light and does not connect to the network to turn everything green. I have held the button down each time until the lights all turn solid yellow as you mention.

[SkyTrak_Seth]

To the OP, once your SkyTrak goes solid yellow, are you verifying that the iPad reconnected to the same network that you just programmed to the unit? I've seen it a lot where you connect your unit to 2.4 GHz network and then the iPad goes and automatically connects to 5 GHz or something else.
