Cannot connect iPhone 14 Pro

Hi Frostie,

Thank you for your response. I had seen this, and other threads, as I tried to discover if others were experiencing the same issue. I posted in part to revive the discussion and to see if there were any new ideas around. In particular, is there a need for INNOVV to update the app?

I understand your explanation of one reason why this issue might be happening. But in my case it doesn't explain why my phone did connect once, while I was talking to Apple Support. Also, my wife's 12 Pro and my iPad Pro will connect every time. Neither Apple advisor I spoke to could explain why there is a difference in behaviour between the 14 and the other devices.

In fact, the iPhone 14 behaves correctly and actually the 12 Pro behaves incorrectly. This is because two standard gateways are actually an invalid configuration and it is therefore unpredictable how a device will behave with such a configuration. Some devices ignore the first gateway, some the second. And still others jump back and forth between the two.

In particular, is there a need for INNOVV to update the app?

That is not a problem of the app, but of the AP firmware of the K3 (and also of the K2, K5 and H5).

Normally, every wifi AP also has a DHCP server running which assigns ip addresses to the connecting clients. Otherwise the client could not use the connection.

Beside the ip address, the DHCP server also offers some more network related information to the client. In case of your home router, for example, the router propagates itself as a default gateway. Easy spoken it says "You can reach every non-local network over me". Which makes sense for a home router.

Same does the server for your mobile connection, as it allows you to reach every network in the internet.

The AP of the K3 also propagates itself as a default gateway, because the ip address of the K3 is (seen from the iphone) a non-local network. And that is the problem. Imaging you have two street signs, pointing in opposite directions, but both say "Any direction". Confusing.

Instead of propagating itself as a default gateway, the AP of the K3 should only propagate itself as a router to the network / ip addresses of the K3 . There are specific DHCP options with which a DHCP server can send network related information to a client. And one option is for telling the client to add a route to a specific network.

For reasons I don't know every dashcam AP I know simply propagates itself as a default gateway instead of using the DHCP option. The dashcam in my car (not Innovv) does the same. Maybe it's easier. I don't know.
