This latest update requires you to logout of the app every time and login or you will encounter a white logo screen that goes nowhere and will require an uninstall/reinstall in order to be able to use again. Please fix the issue that requires the constant logout/login in order to use the app! Oh, and please consider increasing/bolding the readings fonts like the old Bluetooth only app.

Called Hughes directly to order. Arrived a day earlier than expected (2 days). Downloaded the correct app (this app) for the Gen 2 after calling customer service about unable to connect. The wi-fi is great and gives us a piece of mind when away from the rig (2 dogs). Make sure you first turn your phone to cellular with Bluetooth on before setting up connection and then turn on WiFi for internet setup. Only issue I have is the plug cover will not close all the way due to the handle on my power cord. It still shelters the connection from the weather however. Definitely recommend the Gen 2 Watchdog.

First, make sure you download the correct app. This app is for the GEN II units, NOT the GEN I. There is another app for GEN I. So far, everything seems to work fine. Had an issue connecting to WiFi. Wouldn’t connect to my 5G connection, but did to the 2G. That’s fine as 2G covers a longer distance. Will update if the need arises.

Easy setup. Great improvements as compared to the Gen 1 models. Although I did like Gen 1.
