WMI-1 and iPad remote

Hi,

I just got my GrandMeister 40 Deluxe out of hibernation. Haven't used the amp for about 2 years and am now very rusty...

Managed to connect the iPad remote via the WMI-1 BT interface. Created a new library (playlist). Started playing with the controls to find a sound I like, however, after a few minutes the remote seems to disconnect from the amp and whatever I do on the remote has no effect on the sound coming out of the amp.
Reconnected and ended up with the same problem after a couple of minutes.

What am I doing wrong???

Appreciate any help / comments / ideas

When my iPad or the amp starts having connection problems I check the software update on the iPad first, if it is current, I shutdown the device, wait a few seconds and restart.  I have also had to shut down the amp a couple of times to reset the logic there as well. Only had to do this a few times. Mainly it is an iPad reload, rarely an amp power cycle. Or course make sure you are on the correct WiFi channel.  I run stand atone mode. No real reason, just stated off that way and haven't needed a change.

I have had the 40 for a couple of years now. I'm running it in a wet dry wet config surrounded by an 11R.  Its more of a wet wet wet thing though.  I just tweak the delays and reverb and whatever other settings. The versatility is amazing and can be time consuming, in a good way. I have mainly drive, compression and distortion pedals in front, but there is so much gain that they are mostly for coloration.
