**Quick Fix:** Disable your mobile device’s cellular data and turn off any active VPNs, as these background network configurations frequently force your phone or tablet to drop the Vscan Air’s local peer-to-peer Wi-Fi connection.
### Step-by-Step Wireless Troubleshooting for Vscan Air
* **Disable “Smart Network Switch” / “Auto-Join”:** Go to your smart device’s Wi-Fi settings and turn off “Smart Network Switch” (Android) or “Ask to Join Networks” (iOS). This prevents your device from dropping the Vscan Air connection in search of an active internet signal.
* **Power-Cycle the Probe:** Place the Vscan Air probe back into its protective charging case for 5 seconds to force it into standby/reboot mode, then remove it to trigger a fresh wireless handshake.
* **Clear the App Cache (Android) or Force-Close (iOS):** Fully close the Vscan Air app and wipe its cache to clear any corrupt temporary pairing files that cause mid-scan dropouts.
* **Reset the Wireless Stack:** Toggle your mobile device’s Bluetooth and Wi-Fi off for 10 seconds, then turn them back on before opening the Vscan Air app.
* **Avoid Low-Battery States:** Charge both your smart device and the Vscan Air probe to at least 30%. Both devices enter aggressive power-saving modes at low battery levels, which severely throttles the wireless transceiver.
* **Minimize Environmental Interference:** Move away from high-density wireless environments, microwave ovens, and large medical monitors that operate on the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz bands to reduce signal collision.
* **Perform a Hard Reset of the Probe Network:**
1. Turn off the Vscan Air probe.
2. Go to your mobile device’s Wi-Fi settings and “Forget” the Vscan Air network.
3. Turn the probe back on and re-pair it from scratch directly through the Vscan Air app, allowing all requested location and local network permissions.
