Postcard RTK - Fails to configure via Wi-Fi

Postcard RTK with Portability Shield (v2.2)
When I configure the Postcard via Wi-Fi configuration, after making the necessary changes and requesting a reset, it restarts, but there’s a GNSS and Bluetooth failure.
Every time I’ve configured via Wi-Fi, I get the same error during the restart.
The solution has been to reset the Postcard using the button several times until the restart is successful and it enters rover mode.
I’ve also solved it by connecting and disconnecting the power several times.
If I configure via Bluetooth, I generally haven’t had any problems.

Hi
Is anyone experiencing the same issue as me?
I haven’t configured any more via Wi-Fi settings for fear of blocking the Postcard from booting.
I configured via Bluetooth serial settings.
But I want the Wi-Fi settings to work properly and for the Postcard to restart and boot up again without having to turn it off and on twice or more sometimes.
Thanks.

I want to make it clear that I’m very happy with the Postcard in terms of its accuracy and speed in obtaining fixed solutions.
I’m eager for the new firmware to work with Galileo HA corrections in remote areas without internet.

I do config mainly thru Bluetooth terminal as I have found WiFi config to be spotty as your describe and have also not screwed with WiFi networks in general.

Why use gallieo HA when you can just do a base rover with radios and not depend on anything but your own stuff?

@AORPLS , I’m also eagerly awaiting the HAS E6 Firmware release (coming soon).
For those edge cases where cellular isn’t available, it’s a good fallback correction source for GIS work without the benefit of L-Band Corrections.

Base/Rover isn’t very useful in the GIS context where daily production over large areas is the key. For that, HAS E6 is a good fallback to RTN in areas of no cellular service.

But obviously, Base/Rover is better suited when you’re talking about Professional Surveying Scope.

My thought is more throw the base anywhere (but you may be correct if you cover more than a few KM area wide a day) then post process your data.

Hello colleagues.
I have professional equipment, and of course, using the rover/base gives us excellent results.
Now: 1) Galileo HAS is useful in areas without internet for low-precision surveys, in rural areas, forestry, etc.
2) The postcard fits my research needs; I have a low-cost device that can receive Galileo HAS.

We will continue investigating the conflicting reboot after configuring via Wi-Fi.
Regards
Angel
