    Steve,<br>
    <br>
    did you run my latest change there? If so, was that with default
    timing or with a changed configuration?<br>
    <br>
    A full scan now takes ~ 2 seconds with default timing on my modules,
    so I guess you still had the old version running.<br>
    <br>
    Also, the AP isn't taken down, and the WiFi module should of course
    send a beacon between the channels, but it's unfortunately closed
    source, so we can only guess what it does there from the effects
    observed. With scanning for up to the 500 ms per channel, my guess
    was that became too long for your tablet.<br>
    <br>
    We only scan if no client network is connected, so while you're in
    your home network, it won't scan.<br>
    <br>
    Please try again with default scan timing.<br>
    <br>
    Regards,<br>
    Michael<br>

        <div>So the scan seems to take 4-5 seconds.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>As the car drives along the scan picks up a wide variety of
          SSIDs.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I'm sure that you are right that the SSID disappears for
          long enough for the tablet to lose connection.  Unfortunately
          the tablet then jumps to LTE (so no more connection to
          192.168.4 network) and it is quite a while before IT notices
          that the SSID is back and reconnects.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>I don't really follow though why the AP is taken down to do
          this since when the car is home it is able to connect to my
          home Wifi AND operate the AP?</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>From the log it appears that sometimes the scan is done
          every 10 seconds and sometimes it seems to be every 80 seconds
          or so.</div>
        <div><br>
        </div>
        <div>Obviously a scan done every 10 seconds that takes the SSID
          down for 4 to 5 seconds isn't going to make the AP near
          useless.</div>
