connection problems with Android phone, WiFi & VictronConnect

I am currently monitoring my system as I enter my battery room with my android phone WiFi connecting via WiFi with VenusGX.

Unfortunately every time I enter the battery room, I need to get my phone to forget the VenusGX WiFi and find it and re-enter the password - very frustrating and slow.....

Every other WiFi device connects automatically whenever I approach the signal strength of that device but not so for VenusGX.

Why is this happening?

the Venus GX internal wifi is very week, and thus your phone may not be switch over correctly,

I would suggest as a work around to buy a cheap repeater and hardwired the Venus to that.

well thats what I did anyway
