  Here is a bit of added information. 

  I'm using an Iphone 11 with IOS 14.0.1

  SkyFi shows up in my wifi networks. When I connect to it, I get a blue checkmark and it says "Unsecured Network" but that switches to say "No Internet Connection"

  When I go to Safari and attempt to go to 10.0.0.1 all I get is a blank white screen.which eventually changes to say "Safari could not open the page because the server stopped responding"

  On my Wife's phone XR with IOS 13.7, when I go to 10.0.0.1, I get the blue SkyFi "webpage" which would allow me to change the SSID, etc.

  Hi,

  Is there an advancing on this?

  Here in same boat. I am still using the old IP6+ w/IOS 12 and works fine but the IP12PM w/IOS 14 can't connect To SkyFi 2.

  Sad, but my SkyFi2 is basically a paperweight now.  I have been thinking about buying a competitor's product.

  Definitely Iphone12 Pro Max, SkySafari6Pro and SkyFi are not so PRO.

  Similar problem here with SkyFi 2.

  iPad Pro 11 3rd gen with IOS 14.6 can see SkyFi but doesn't get a 10.0.0.x IP address

  iPhone 12 Pro with IOS 14.6 behaves the same as above.

  iPad Air 2 running IOS 14.6 works as expected.

  iPad Pro 11 1st gen with IOS 14.4.1 works as expected.
