Annoying Server Loss Message

So, I know I have posted about this message before, but I am still seeing this from time to time. Some days, not at all, and some days, numerous times. At one point I had thought that it was due to WiFi interference from other devices on stage. So I would change the Channel settings inside the WiFi router to be on a higher end of the 5.4GHz range. This seemed to work at first, but there are still times that I see this message.
What I don't understand is my Tablet is not a server. It is always a Client. So why would this message pop up just because the Client had a hiccup in the WiFi connection to the Tablet? The server continues to run when this message pops up. I never have to restart the server, and I never see this message on the server itself, nor do I see this message on the my console, which is also a Client. The console is hard lined into the Hognet. So why is a simple blip in the WiFi connection causing this message to appear? I know it's not a signal loss issue, because I get this message with full strength on my WiFi connection. No Firewall on. No Antivirus on.
The thing is, every time this message pops up on my Tablet, and I hit Okay, the message goes away, and I am able to still control fixtures, only I am not able to update, merge, or record anything. My only resolve is to log off the show, then log back in. Once I do that, I am able to continue programming and recording cues.
This is not on just one show. It's on any new show I create and on different setups with different server consoles and DP8Ks.

  • Hey Scott,

    I have had this problem too with my setup. I am running a Hog3PC server with a networked hard line to a Hog3PC client as the main console and an Acer tablet as a wireless client. The only time this would show up for me is if the Tablet was idle for a long period of time, or if I walked to far away from the router.

    So now, I just log out of the show when it feels like things are settling down. I have the same result of changing things in the the programmer but not being able to update, merge, or record them.

    It does make it problematic for spur of the moment changes and if I need to be by the gaffer/DP during a take.
