It's weird... connecting Flex to a router detects it in less than one second. I will add a note that connecting the Flex directly to the computer may take up to 2 minutes. It's obvious that a router handles much better a network!

Best 73

Actually I forgot to say that I had to change my network configuration. I had been using Windows 10 in bridge mode. This is bridging the ethernet with the Wifi connection in Windows Networking so that the radio is internet connected and gets a 192.xxx.xxx.xxx address.  It is flakey and there are endless references to this online. I changed to my preferred OS which is Windows 11. It is no better in W11. So I changed to a local link where the Flex gets a 169.xxx.xxx.xxx address. Once this is set in Swisslog then Swisslog connects straight away in these last two betas. It would not surprise me that when automatic detection is employed that the starting point is with 192.xxx.xxx.xxx addresses and only later are other addresses scanned for. 

I still think it is valid to reference the delay in Swisslog Help. Using a local link is not unusual especially now Flex have released some networking videos where they prefer this method to using a switch and certainly in preference to 100% WiFi. It is only with local link that no dropped packets are guaranteed.

Erik.
