[TG] [TG11] Miracast with the Axiom Pro

[Tom - Raymarine - Moderator]

Hello George,

There's no special power-up order, whatever order is convenient should work. In our experience here in Australia, intermittent connection/reconnection problems tend to turn out being one of the following:

- old software/firmware in the Miracast dongle (you update this from the Wireless Display app on a Windows device)
- connection password/PIN enabled on the dongle (again, set up via the WD app on a Windows device)
- a 'stale' connection in the software setup of one or other device that is blocking later connections

To address the last one, you might perhaps need to do a factory reset on the Axiom, after trying the first 2 options above. Because the wireless connection is an underlying operating-system level you'd probably need to do a power-on reset, which is not to be undertaken lightly (will wipe all waypoints/routes/tracks/user-setup/Digital Switching configuration from the display!) It's harmless and risk-free apart from the data loss, but I'm wary of publishing the power-on reset procedure here in case someone who is relying on a Digital Switching system to run their boat reads and follows the procedure without having read the warnings first, but you can find the power-on reset procedure in the Troubleshooting section near the back of the Lighthouse3 Advanced operation manual which you can download from http://www.raymarine.com.au/display/?id=10125.

In our experience with an identical Wireless Display adaptor, if you make sure the WD adaptor's up-to-date and has the PIN disabled, it works very reliably.

Regards,
Tom
