Be sure to START SESSION In the Garmin App before starting play in E6 CONNECT

NOTES:

  • For HOST, select the IP Address for your PC (It will be a number in this format: XXX.XXX.XXX.XX)
  • The Default PORT Number you should be using is: 2483 (unless otherwise indicated by Garmin)

Additionally

  • Must have Android 7.0 or later
  • Your PC and Android/iOS Device MUST be on the Same Network. (contact your IT Professional for help)
  • If you are using a VPN--you are on your own. There is no known work-around.
  • If you are on a Business Computer and/or a Domain, you may need to speak with your IT department.

  • You may need to remove firewalls temporarily, to see if they interfere with connectivity.
  • It’s been determined that a network profile set to “Public” can prevented the desktop device from connecting to the R10 via WiFi. Try switching network profile setting to “Private”.
