hi,
I am using Openplotter on a Pi 4. I have the Pi set up as an AP to provide a hotspot to connect a tablet or phone to the Pi and to display the Pi screen on the tablet. I have done it numerous times in the past and it always worked fine. I am using RVNC The connection works fine in the beginning. After about 20 or 30 seconds the tablet screen stops updating but the mouse cursor still will drive the Pi. Every minute or two after connection, the RVNC connection drops and reconnects. The PI AP is stable. I am using the internal WiFi of the Pi. i also have a WiFi dongle connected but have not connected it to anything yet. I am using X11 not Wayland. I set up the AP using the Network manager GUI and I activated the VNC server using the Pi configuration tool. I have a good power supply and everything else is working fine.
Any suggestions as to how I can fault find and fix?
