I am on site at a client this week and I am having significant issues with the WIFI setup. The Leica AT960 I have used an older Revision controller that doesn’t have fully standalone WIFI. What I have to do is use a Hotspot / Access Point.
I had a little TP-Link AP setup and working on Monday and Tuesday. However, it is randomly disconnecting now. I have tried numerous times to fix the issue with no success.
So far, I have ensured that power management is not turning off the WIFI card on the PC or turning off the USB ports. I checked this under the Power Management and also in the device manager properties for each USB Hub and for the WIFI Card.
Tonight, I went out and purchased two TP Link setups. One is an AX1800 Router, and the other is an AC1200 which can be easily configured as an access point. Both of these units can be configured as routers, or access points. However, for some reason I cannot get the DHCP to work properly.
The tracker I am using has a Static IP Address of 192.168.1.1 which was setup inside of the Leica Tracker Pilot. Subnet is the standard 24-bit 255.255.255.0 address. Password is set perfectly for both the Leica AT960 and the Access Point encryption.
I have tried both setting up the Leica to connect via the Access Point Method and via the Static Method.
I did get it to connect at one point for about 10 seconds and it automatically terminated for some reason. I retried the connection, and it terminated again.
Currently burnt out on this one and have a call into technical support.
Just as an FYI I can run this unit cabled just fine using a static IP address of 192.168.0.1 which is the default set within tracker pilot for a wired connection. The problem is the job I am working on is 60 meters in length and the cat6 cable I have is a mere 20 meters in length.
