Still trouble running NMEA data stream and Radar in parallel. Any help?

Please google "Windows connecting cable disconnects wi-fi" and read what it finds.

This it exactly what I tried. And had no success with. Hence my request for help.

And which of the instructions found you followed and what did not work when you did?

Lots of different ones. Amongst those, the ones suggesting to change V-Priority.


I really appreciate you trying to help, but you say you are not an expert on windows networks.
So, I think it would be better to wait until a windows network specialist chimes in.

Wholybee might know this...



Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you know an aweful lot of stuff, but please let's see if Wholybee does know more Windows specific stuff.

When people owned a computer I wonder why they refuse to learn how to use it.
First thing I see she even don't know how to make a screenshot.
Use the Windows-key+Shift+S

Sometimes its easier to take a screenshot with the phone your using to reply.
Im not replying on the nav computer itself...

Apart from that this comment does not help fixing the issue, does it.

Just keep off the thread if you can not or do not want to help with the issue on hand. Thank you.

Tried to set network policy that simultaneous connections are expresively allowed, but this did not work either.

[Franziska]

Here the network policy I set.

Also tried all of these:

No change. As soon as I switch power on at the radar, the data stream stops.

Franziska,

I think you are on the right track. Windows 10 (by default) disables WIFI connections when you plug in a wired (Ethernet) connection. They ASSUME that you will only want to use the faster of the two.



The Microsoft post listed two steps. Did you change the advanced settings on your Ethernet card as well as the group policy setting?

Thank you Bill, yes, I did both, changing the advanced settings of the card and changing the group policy.
Additionally I tried the suggested registry adjustments.
Unfortunately all to no avail.

I agree, it looks like the wifi is disconnecting when the radar turns on. I have seen this a few times before, and there are different fixes for what seems to be different causes. Hence nohal's google search might work better than us guessing at what fix will work.

Thanks, the trouble is I already tried a lot of suggestions from Google and had no luck with them. Hence I was looking for another round of help here.

Can you send me a screen shot of your Ethernet settings? They should look something like this:

I agree, double checking makes sense.
Here you go:

In post #6 you show the ipconfig output when your radar is disconnected and the WIFI is working. Your computer has an address of 192.168.1.225. Your router is 192.168.1.1. Since your phones connect to the same WIFI network they will also be in the 192.168.1.x range. All is good. It also shows the Ethernet adapter disconnected (as expected).

In post #9 you showed the ipconfig output when only the radar was connected. It looks exactly as I would expect: it is using an autoconfig ip address (169.254.x.x) the x.x can change and does not matter for this problem. Your radar will also be 169.254.x.x. If it were not then you would see no data from it. Your WIFI is now disconnected so now your phones are unable to see the data coming from OpenCPN. This is the expected behavior with default Windows settings.

One very confusing shot is your UDP output connection setting in OpenCPN (post #7). It is fuzzy but appears to be using 192.168.43.152.x.x on port 10110. I'm not familiar with the OpenCPN code but I do know what OpenCPN needs to know in order to do what it's supposed to do. That address is not giving it any useful information.

I suspect that this field is actually only used by OpenCPN to indicate which interface to transmit on. I also suspect that OpenCPN looks at the obviously wrong address and pretends like you entered 0.0.0.0 and just sends it out on all interfaces. That's why your phones can see it even though the connection setting is wrong. It should be 192.168.1.225 with your current configuration. 0.0.0.0 would also work and is probably the preferred setting in case your computer's IP address changes.

Just for grins, try hooking up the connections in a different order. Try Ethernet first, then WIFI. If the problem is still there then connect WIFI then Ethernet. It should not make a difference but it's worth a try.

If the problem is still there then reboot your computer, connect the WIFI, and verify that you see data on it. It is very important that you reboot. I want to know we are starting from a known state and that the WIFI is working.

Next, hook up the Ethernet and see if the problem is still there. If it is, send the output from an ipconfig /all command with the radar and the WIFI connected (or supposed to be connected). If that does not show where the problem is the next step will be Group Policy and registry checks.
