How Come Celestron's Sky Portal App Can Connect To Celestron WiFi CEF Network But SkySafari 7 Pro Can Not? (Answer: Under Review)

I have been using Sky Portal with the sky Portal app and have no problem connecting, it uses Celestron-CEF network. SkySafari will not connect to this network. I get the message "Connection failure, SkySafari 7 pro can't make wireless connection. Make sure you have joined it's WiFi network ,  entered it's IP address correctly and given SkySafari permission to access t your local network "  The only WiFi network that comes up on my computer is Celestron-CEF.

    William choose celestron wifi instead of avx/cge/cgem on the presets. I did the same mistake with my cgem II mount and when I chose the celestron wifi it worked perfectly
