## Why does Wi-Fi constantly disconnect when CarPlay is connected, and how to fix it?

### Symptoms:

When using wireless CarPlay or Android Auto on an Android head unit, the Wi-Fi connection frequently drops or disconnects because both projection protocols simultaneously occupy the Wi-Fi port and hardware resources for data streaming.

### Solution:

To restore standard Android internet connectivity and prevent Wi-Fi conflicts, simply go into the CarPlay settings within the ZLINK/Carlink application and disable the connection, or disconnect CarPlay directly from your smartphone's wireless settings.
