1.2 PERMISSIONS
9:41WiFi · 87%
A few things Agora needs
Nothing leaves this network. Here's exactly what each one is for.
Local network access
So Agora can find people near you. Required.
Microphone
For voice calls. Only on while you're in a call.
Camera
For video calls. Skip it and audio still works.
Notifications
So you know when someone nearby messages you.
Local network permission looks unusual because it is — it's what lets Agora work with no servers at all.
Allow & continue
Decide each one later

This router is blocking discovery
Devices here can't see each other. It's a router setting — often called AP isolation or client isolation.

‹
Can't find anyone
Three things to check
1
Same WiFi, same band
You're on cafe-guest. Guest networks and 2.4/5 GHz splits often can't see each other.
2
Router device isolation
Some routers stop devices talking to each other. Look for "AP isolation" or "client isolation" in router settings.
Find my router's guide
3
Local network permission
Agora has it on this device — ask the other person to check theirs in system settings.

How Agora works
1
Your phone announces itself on the WiFi you're already on. No servers in the middle.
2
Messages and calls travel device-to-device, encrypted, at local speed.
3
Your history stays on your device. Cloud sync is off unless you turn it on.

This router won't let devices talk
Agora can see Ada and Sofie announcing themselves, but every connection attempt is dropped. That's device isolation on the router — not a problem with your phone or theirs.
EVIDENCE
announcements  3 peers seen
handshakes     0 of 14 completed
verdict         AP / client isolation
On a home router, look for AP isolation in wireless settings and turn it off. On café or hotel WiFi, it's usually enforced — try a personal hotspot instead.
