Why is the Astropad Studio iPad app blinking off and on?

If your iPad app blinks off and on, your Wi‑Fi connection is likely weak. To check, try connecting your computer and iPad with a USB cable.

Other symptoms may include:

• Astropad not connecting initially
• High latency
• iPad “blinks”
• Slow redraw performance
• iPad app opening and closing

Try these steps:

• Restart both your computer and iPad.
• Restart your router.
• Move closer to your router or reposition it.
• Ensure AirDrop isn’t in use.

Possible causes of a failed Wi‑Fi connection:

• Your router is on the 2.4GHz band (which may conflict with Bluetooth)
• Being too far from the router
• Using your Mac as a hotspot
• An Ethernet cable is plugged into your computer
• Multiple routers or networks
• Wi‑Fi extenders
• Corporate network security policies
• Firewalls or security software
• Using a VPN
