Help with my WiFi Ranger

[jamiew]

Just purchased a WifiRanger Spruce and trying to connect with iPhone*6 S Plus.* Have attempted to tether wired (USB) and wirelessly but in each case, the connection drops later about 5-10 mins.* Any suggestions?

If you'll change the subject of your thread (or ask the admin to change it if you can't) to something a bit more specific like 'Help with my WifiRanger' you'll soon get Doc J in here, and he's the guy you need. He supports the product line and is a wealth of information.

Hi Jamie-

Some phones tether by USB better than others. Make sure that you don't have any settings on the phone that would turn off a tether after a certain amount of time or if it isn't actively being used for data.

For one of my low-cost cellular connections (with Visible) I have to connect the hotspot phone via WiFi because it doesn't tether well by USB. There's really very little speed difference between using WiFi versus USB.

I would suggest connecting the phone via WiFi to see if it is more stable that way. My phone that doesn't tether well, is rock solid stable when connected by WiFi.
