Why turn off mobile data

why mobile data needs to be turned off when the app scans the bolt wifi module?what happens if we do not turn off it?

my question is do we need to use same wifi network for scanning the bolt device which we will configure it for?if not then why we turn off the mobile data ?why can’t we scan the device with mobile data?

It is not necessary for you to connect to the same wifi network.You can scan the device using mobile data as well when your wifi network isn’t available.It shows the mobile data option when your wifi network is offline.

Hi @jain.reechika
Essentially the app needs to communicate with the bolt wifi module and that’s why the mobile data should be switched off.
If you want to scan your device with mobile date,which is possible, follow the steps shown in the following video in the link
