Trouble Connecting to Iphone 8 WiFi Wan

I have a Pepwave Surf Soho that I’ve been using in my RV since April usually either paired with a usb connected hotspot or an Iphone connected through Wifi Wan. Recently I started having trouble connecting to my iphone hotspot. The log indicates that the router fails to connect to the Iphone with this message:

WAN: Wi-Fi WAN fails to connect iPhone (WPA: authentication timeout)

It repeats this over and over then finally connects after 10 or 15 minutes of trying. I can’t pinpoint the reason for it finally connecting. I have even tried giving the Iphone a static IP address.

Has anyone had this problem?

May i know the firmware version running for your SOHO device ?
