In densely populated areas, you may notice a smaller effective range for Wi-Fi communications. If your Activity Log prints out the warning Ground Station connection issue it is likely that your Tablet is not able to establish a strong connection with the Ground Station or you are not connected to the Ground Station Network. If this happens during flight - your Fotokite system will continue flight at the last selected height and will continue to record footage. If you have an Android phone, download a Wi-Fi scanning tool (Wi-Fi Analyzer, WiFiman, etc). This will allow you to scan the environment for signal health and see what channels are currently interfering with the Ground Station Wi-Fi. Make sure the Tablet is still connected to the Fotokite System you wish to control. If it is not showing in the list in System Connect, power down the tablet and make sure Wi-Fi is enabled when the tablet is powered back on. If you continue to have issues connecting to the Ground Station, press the Emergency Button located on the Ground Station to manually land the Kite. The System may have to be powered off and reset to fix this error. If the issue persists contact Fotokite support. ## Wired Ethernet Connection Issues It is possible to connect to the Ground Station with a wired Ethernet connection instead of a wireless connection. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://manual.fotokite.com/troubleshooting/troubleshooting-general-issues/wi-fi-connection-issues.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
