One of our customers was trying to connect VXDIAG VCX FD VCI via DoNET (5GHz) but failed. Photo attached:
It should be noted that VXDIAG works with 2.4GHz DoNET remote connections and does not appear to recognize 5 GHz connections.
He changed to another phone (2.4GHz) and it worked fine.
Here comes the unbiased review of VXDIAG
VCX FD from one of vxdiagshop.com's customers.
"I
already buy 3 vcx fd for my team and love how it's fast and lightweight easy to
carry and handle. Always connect fast without issue. I prefer to use my vcx fd
than my cardaq plus 3 , vcmii , xlink , no connection problem much more easy
going.
I have 2 other customer already buy vcx fd after I tell us how
much I like it. And in a near futur I would like each of my customer have one ,
I do remotely reprog and assistance and love how they work great via
flexihub.
Donet are pretty hard to manage fast and didn't make a lot
of test right now , you team told me its slow here in north America but the test
I already do I see a server in USA to use donet."
