Connection Issues

Cannot Connect with Your IP?

Common causes and solutions:

• Different networks: Ensure both devices are on the same WiFi
• Firewall blocking: Allow VirtualTablet through Windows Firewall
• Router isolation: Some routers prevent communication between devices

If you cannot connect even though your PC and tablet are on the same network, the issue is likely with your Windows Firewall settings.

Solution Steps:

1. Open Windows Firewall settings
2. Add VirtualTablet Server to the allowed applications list
3. Ensure both private and public network access are enabled
4. Restart VirtualTablet Server and try connecting again

Cannot Find Server Automatically over WiFi?

Even if automatic server discovery isn’t working, you can still have chance to connect manually:

Performance Issues

How to Minimize Cursor Delays

Experiencing lag or delays when using WiFi connection? Here are proven methods to improve performance:

1. Optimize Physical Distance

• Keep your PC, router, and tablet physically close together when using WiFi connection
• Reduce obstacles between devices (walls, furniture, electronic interference)

2. Try WiFi Tethering

• Create a direct connection between devices without going through a router
• Bypass network congestion and router limitations

3. Use USB Tethering

• USB tethering provides the fastest, most stable connection for Android devices
• Eliminates WiFi network variables and provides consistent performance

4. Try USB Connection (Recommended)

• USB tethering and a direct USB connection via ADB are completely different methods.
• This method requires enabling Developer Options on your Android device. Once set up, it’s easy to use and offers stable, consistent performance.

Driver Issues

Do I need to install drivers?

• Windows: VirtualTablet HID drivers are installed automatically during setup
• Mac: No additional drivers needed
• USB connection: Requires ADB drivers on Windows

Verify HID Driver Installation (Windows only)

1. Open Device Manager
2. Look for Human Interface Devices
3. Verify VirtualTablet HID driver is present

Can I use VirtualTablet with multiple monitors?

• Mac users: ✅ Yes — it works by selecting the desired screen.
• Windows users: ❌ No — the cursor movement is limited to the primary monitor only.

Connection is successful, but cursor does not move?

If your stylus isn’t functioning properly, check these items in order:

1. Driver Installation
   • Ensure you allowed driver installation during VirtualTablet Server setup
   • If you declined, uninstall and reinstall the server

2. Reboot Required

   • You must reboot your computer after installing VirtualTablet Server
   • The pen driver won’t work without a restart

3. Reinstall if Needed

   • If problems persist after reboot, completely remove VirtualTablet Server
   • Reinstall with administrator privileges
