Akai Force Not Connecting To Bitwig

[skylanderlad]

Good Evening,

Thanks for your scripts - amazing amount of work you do.
I am using the Bitwig Extension for the Akai Force - Latest version of Bitwig 5.3.13 and also tested on Beta 6.0 13.
Latest version of Bitwig Extension.
Akai Professional Network MIDI version 1.4.1
Also on Windows 11.
I have tried connecting both via Ethernet cable and via Wi-Fi.
It does occasionally connect - maybe one in 5 or 6 attempts, but mostly the Force just stays on the "Waiting for communication from Ableton Live" screen.
I'm completely at a loss - it seems that everything is set up correctly but for the most part it will not connect.
I would appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks very much in advance.
