GoPro Hero 7 Black re-connection problems with iPhone app [ New ]

[robertm702]

Hi,

Just got my Hero 7 and tested it for the first time on Friday 29thSeptember 2018.

I switch off Wireless Connections on the Hero 7 in order to save battery power, I learnt that trick with the Hero 5. After the initial connection, between the Hero 7 and the GoPro app, I have problems re-connecting the Hero 7 to the app for looking at my clips and for adjusting the settings.

To re-establish a connection, I have to use the Reset Connections menu on the Hero 7.

Also the iPhone doesn’t see the Hero 7’s WiFi network

I’m expecting the Hero 7 to connect like the Hero 5, am I doing something wrong?

GoPro Hero 7 v01.51

GoPro App v5.0.1 (2750)

iPhone 6s Plus iOS 12.0

Many thanks,

Robert.

Change Gopro WiFi to 2GHz. That should do the trick.

Hi agileridge22663,

Thanks for the reply.

I've changed the Wi-Fi Band to 2.4GHz (it was orginally set to 5GHz) and so far it does look like the Hero 7 connects more reliably to the iPhone app so that you can change the settings of the Hero 7 or look at the clips.

It does seem to take a while for the clip to transfer to the iPhone app, eventhough the settings on the iPhone show that I ams connected to the Hero 7's WiFi.

Regards,

Robert.
