E6 Connect and Windows 10

I cannot get E6 to work in Windows 10.

  • Both the PC and Android device are on the same network
  • In E6 ,I have changed the setting to use the IP address of the PC and put the IP and port into the Android device
  • In the E6 forums, it mentions the WiFi ust be "private" (and mine is)

I think I have done everything correctly. Do you need to open any ports on the router?

I wish there were better diretions or a video on how to do this .These are less than helpful:

Tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!!

    I got it to work. When in E6, one you select the IP, you have to "accept". and then "go back up" to where you started.

    I was just highlighting the IP and trying to connect. Seems obvious now but....

    I keep getting disconnected from E6 on PC and then can not reconnect. I can still telnet to ip and port 2483 for E6 but the Garmin app on the phone will not connect. Any suggestions?

    Like TexasDave, seems obvious now but you have to click on the IP address (turns blue) and then press accept.  I was screwing around with whitelisting ports/IPs in McAfee firewall, but all I had to do to make it work was highlight the IP address and then press accept.  I was doing the opposite of TexasDave, hitting accept without selecting the IP address.  I assume that feature is for commercial facilities/ranges that have a lot of approach r10 devices that are all on the same Wifi so you might have several or many IPs in that list.

    Thank you TexasDave you have saved me from pulling all my hair out trying to get My Android Garmin App to connect to E6 on my PC. once I clicked on the IP address in the E6 programme turning the IP address blue and then accepted it, I was able to connect first go. Thanks again for posting this solution.
