dexter manager doesen't work on laptop wifi internet

[erwing]

hello,
if i connect dexter via ethernet cable to a laptop and then wi fi it to a router, it doesn't find the dexter and rest in 'discovering'... and not log in .
tryed with 2 different laptop and op system,no change.

but if i connect dexter directly to an lan router ports of my pc desktop it work perfect.

arcade is 20 meter distance so i ve to use the wi fi method.
any advice in how to configure the lan thernet port ?
dhcp is on,firewall off..etc..


thanks

Dexter Manager needs to be on the same subnet as the Dexter unit in order to discover the device.

There isn't anything to configure on the Dexter hardware. It always uses DHCP to configure itself.

I generally have poor results when using PC-based connection sharing / bridging. It is much better to use a long ethernet cable, or a hardware wifi bridge.
