Good morning all.  I'm pretty impressed by the photos and footage I can record on my B500.  After a lot of frustration and angst I managed to get SnapBridge and my camera to work together successfully every time.  No matter where I am when downloading from the camera to my device (iPhone 11) I get the message pop up that says "The Wi-Fi network B500_(Then my camera code) does not appear to be connected to the internet.  Do you want to use mobile data?  I then have a choice of "Use Mobile Data" or "Keep trying Wi-Fi". 

Does anyone know why this pops up and how to eliminate this please? It's not a huge issue, but it does become annoying because if I've got lots to offload, I can't walk away until it's all copied to my device because sometimes it comes up at the start and sometimes near the end.  I have attempted to attach a screenshot for your perusal, and understanding.  

 

Thanks in advance for your advice

Do you have some other app running in the background? I think this happens because you are connected to the ad-hoc wifi node in your camera and some other app that needs the internet is trying to connect.

Thank you for the hint.  I will check when I need to use SnapBridge again.
