I have the same issues with the CP4 WiFi. I simply don't use it anymore. Instead I use the SkyFi, which is completely reliable. I do hope AP finally resolves the issues with the CP4 WiFi.

I have the old Asus Nexus 7, I'll have to give it a try. I have been using the AP keypad but the database is somewhat limited and so I would like to get Sky Safari working too.

Howard, Think this issue is for Android devices only. It sounds like those with I phones or I tablets don't have the issue. I will try the channel suggestion but I am pretty sure I already tried that
