SkySafari 5 Pro Connection Failure Samsung Note 8

I run SkySafari 5 Pro on my Samsung Note 8.  Device shows connectivity to the SkyFi wireless connector in the Note 8 wifi settings.  However, in the SkyFi wireless setup page, it only periodically shows connection and that is only when I power on the device.  Then I go to the scope to connect and I get the error message "Connection Failure.  SkySafri 5 Pro cannot make a wireless network connection to the scope.  Make sure you've joined its Wi-Fi network, and entered its IP address correctly. "  After the error, the SkyFi network still appears on my Note 8 wireless settings, but no longer in the setup in the app itself.  I have wired the scope to my laptop, it that works fine.  My scope is a Meade LX200 GPS SMT. Running firmware 1.3.3. Any thoughts?
