I empathize with you and the frustration over this unexplainable trouble, however I think there is an alternative: connect to the USB-A port on the back panel with an ethernet cable and adapter. I haven't done this so don't know from experience, but the manual offers it as an alternative. Also, in case you haven't seen it, there is another post today with a suggestion that would be worth trying. See "Possible solution for Helix Stadium Edit Wi-Fi disconnections".

The Auto Connect toggle at the bottom of the start-up window is set to On and lit green, but I am forced to connect manually. Except... Totally unlike the experience which led to my Friday post above, I had zero problems with the connection yesterday and it was on all day! WHAAT?! It even connected automatically (which it ironically did not do this morning). It made me wonder if Line 6 had surreptitiously sent an update. The only thing that I know changed since Friday is a Windows update. If that was responsible, then I'll take it. If today is similarly successful, then I will try the Carvin wireless pair again and let you know.

I abandoned a redundant 5GHz router but made no progress on the wireless cable matter. The Stadium app has been unusable today. It will not keep connection even if I manage to coax it over the Detecting Device line which is very rare. I might be able to switch my router to 2.4GHz but everything else is on 5GHz, and I think most will be happier to stay there. If Stadium needs 5GHz by design to update panel changes to the app (anything else?), then how can the design not mitigate interference with shielding, digital filtering, or the like? Is there a way to know how many users have already conversed with Support trying to resolve this?

I too was plagued by this issue, which made no sense because the Stadium is exactly six feet away from my router, until... I replaced my Carvin WG5 wireless receiver & transmitter with a ten-foot TR instrument cable. If there has been a drop-out since, then it is rare. A Dish Network Joey, a Brother printer, and my PC are all within that 6-foot perimeter, and the only problem I still have is I have to manually tell the app to connect to the Stadium rather than that happening automatically when the app boots. I would very much like to get back the freedom of movement that the Carvin devices allow. Really. They operate at 5.8 GHz. Is that the problem? Would the proximity matter in that case? Would it be worth trying to connect the receiver to the Stadium via an instrument cable by some method? We'll see.

Am I to understand that Skip All should be selected at the Welcome to Helix Stadium screen, ignoring the warning about onboarding setup? This isn't specified by Line 6 Knowledge Base topic cannot-log-in-to-update-with-workaround, or here. If so, then Wi-Fi setup and whatever else is a part of onboarding must be available subsequently. Correct? Is the Stadium app supposed to be running before the unit is booted the first time?

Wow. So simple. I had it set to Press. Changing to Off corrected it. Thank You!

The following refers to Stomp Mode with a single function assigned to the footswitch in question, and it doesn’t matter which of the eight footswitches it is. It doesn't matter which preset either; see Templates > Two Tones A-B. But first, Whenever a Split block is configured as A/B - Min Route To A 100 and Max Route To B 100 - and the expression pedal is assigned as the Route To controller, the display shows (in the lower left corner) the instantaneous percentage of the signal being sent to either the A leg or the B leg. It makes sense to me that if a footswitch is assigned as the controller, the display would show the same information except that there would be only two instantaneous values – one for the A leg and the other for the B leg. In both cases, the main display should remain on the Home screen and show the current preset number and name. I am almost certain that Helix has worked this way in the past for me and that only recently has this behavior changed. Now when the Route To function is assigned to a footswitch and I step on that switch, the unit goes into Controller Assign mode for that switch with the various parameters displayed across the bottom of the screen instead of simply showing which leg the signal is being sent to. Stepping on the switch again has no effect on the display. With HX Edit running I can see that the Route To function is working as expected. But the only time the display screen shows the status of the function is when the preset has been saved with the Split block selected. All subsequent presses of the footswitch result in Controller Assign mode for that switch. The only thing I recall changing since the unit behaved “properly” was to set Preset Mode Switches to “8 Snapshots”. Changing this back to “8 Presets” had no impact on the behavior. Any insight into this situation, why it is happening and how to correct it, will be greatly appreciated.

I do appreciate that.

The Helix Owner's Manual for version 3.80 states on page 71 that the Mode switch can be configured to toggle between Stomp and Snapshot modes by selecting Global Settings > Footswitches > Snapshot Mode Switches and setting it to Toggle. However, the only options found there are Auto Return and Manual Return. This can be done with HX Stomp XL, although I didn't find the procedure or this "Toggle" setting documented in its manual. Is there a way to toggle between Snapshots and Stomp Mode with the press of a single Helix footswitch? Thank you
