Hello all, I know Wifi has been done to death and Search has been my friend, but please forgive me raising it (yet) again...
My router is too far away for my car(M3P 2020) to see it. I have some sympathy, there are a few big stone walls between and although my phone can see it, the signal's pretty weak.
So I tried it in a relative's house where the router was 6ft away (from the driver's mirror) through a cavity brick wall. Car couldn't see it.
So I went to my local SC to pick up the guest network. Car couldn't see it. Tech suggested logging service appointment.
The car will pick up my phone's hotspot (but only when the phone is inside the car) so I can download updates v.v. slowly on my data plan (but from inside the car my phone can't see the router so I cant wifi bridge)
My question (sorry for build-up): given that the car can see my phone, is there any point in a service appointment? Doesn't that suggest that the antenna's OK (but rubbish), or is it possible that (say) the antenna is detached and the wiring to it is acting as a (really rubbish) receiver? I don't want to ignore updates, as I am really hoping for the one that gives me reliable cruise and lets me read what's playing on the radio. In the meantime my wife's Land Rover downloads updates seamlessly over integrated 4G...
thanks
