Make sure you didn't also install the awnet app on the S6 phone. It is okay for awnet app to be installed but it can't be running in the background. It is just easier to not have it installed as you won't need it since you are using WS View and that will manage both WS-2000 and GW1000.
Try turning cellular data off on S6 phone (or temporarily pull our SIM card) to force WiFi connection.
Make sure your WiFi is all coming from the same network. Some people have a modem with WiFi turned on and then they also have a WiFi router connected to modem and the two device are making their own separate WiFi available and if the S6 connects to the modem's WiFi and the console connects to the router's WiFi then you'd be behind the router's firewall with the S6 and hence no access to anything inside the router's LAN. This same thing applies if you are using WiFi access points as extenders and they are configured as routers.
1) i didn't install awnet app on the tablet s6...only WS View...(and per your advice, uninstalled awnet on my note 9)
2) i put the tab s6 into airplane mode and then flipped it back...everything connected fine...but still can't see the station on "manage device"...i can see it under "device list"...
3) yes - coming from same wireless access points...i checked the wireless router and all are showing fine...i have spectrum cable/internet with a separate cable modem and my own netgear nighthawk router...
4) i even went thru the pairing setup with the gw1000 and the tab s6...all good...
stumped, i am...
