When I got connected to the WFR and got a connection established to the dealer wifi then I tried to put my phone on as well. The WFR then disconnected from the computer. and dropped the wifi from the dealer. Could not connect. Once I shut off the wifi on the phone I was able to re-establish the connection on the computer to the WFR and then reconnect to the dealer wifi. Happened a few times. Did the same thing with just the computer on - it would lose connection to the dealer wifi and shut down the control panel.
Now the dealer wifi might have been flaky but why would it shut down the WFR once a connection was lost and force you to re-establish a connection to the control panel? Or when a second device was trying to connect?
I could not find a sheet that said these are the recommended settings and this is what they do to make sure it was setup right. It is the Sky4 model.
I have not tried it yet at the house. We have a gb internet and good router so I have to see what happens here.

Definitely get a quick drain before first oil change. Also short rubber hose. Makes it a ten min job. I drain directly into old laundry detergent container. Oil filter into small plastic bowl and then into large container. Qt size oil containers. I use a small funnel or the all oil transfer pump. Both work good. Gen oil drain under gen. Usually behind small swivel door. Change after first 50 hrs. Then after each 150 hrs..Start gen once a month to eliminate moisture in gen and get fresh fuel onto carborator. Run with 1/2 load (air conditioner).
Oil drain quick drain available on line. It's a real bitch when pan falls off the axel.

So I have the 2019 version of the same rig (since January). Haven’t had any driving issues but will be driving from Florida to Tennessee next week for my nephew’s wedding so we shall see. Had 3 Class C’s before this so pretty used to the V10. Also interested in the result of the WiFi discussion as I will working from the rig (have a Verizon hotspot and ATT on y work phone as backups).

One question I have - does anyone else have the outside speakers on the bottom of the awning arms? What are they connected to and how the heck do you get them to work? I can’t fine instructions anywhere!

Thanks in advance!

My first suggestion is to check to see if the firmware on your device is the newest version. When you are first connected to the Ranger there will probably be a link in the upper right hand corner that says "Cloud Disconnected". Click on this link until it starts to scroll. After a while it should come back as a blue link that says Check for Updates. Click on that to see if there is an update available. If there is, follow the on screen instructions to update.

After you've checked on that you might want to take a look at these documents:

This is a quick start guide that should have come with your Ranger, but I think you probably already know what it contains: https://wifiranger.com/wp-content/up...tdocs_rev8.pdf

Here's the most recent version of the detailed user guide for the Ranger. It provides information on the many features of the Ranger's software. It will assist you in making sure your settings are optimal: https://wifiranger.com/wp-content/up...nual_Rev11.pdf

If you're still having issues after working with it on your own you ought to call WiFiRanger Customer Support to see if they can be of assistance. In an absolute worst case, since this is a brand new unit, there could be either installation or hardware issues. We'll help you work through your concerns so you can diagnose the problem.

I have a number of videos on my YouTube channel that might help you. I was in the same boat and solved these issues as they came up. I decided to video them as much as possible.

We have them. When we get them figured out I'll let you know. I think they go Bluetooth though the BOSE control in the entrance way.
