Hello Alexson,

The issues you’re describing sound like they can be addressed by following this guide on setting up the network connection on a Peer 2 Peer model instead. Please have a look at [this guide](https://community.nianticspatial.com/t/shared-ar-host-peers-communication-a-peer-to-peer-solution/2446) and try the steps on a fresh Unity project or scene (in case they don’t work so that you don’t introduce any new issues into your main project/ scene) and let me know if they resolve your issue.
