My sqaure terminal stopped working with stand (2nd). The ipad (stand) has hotspot and 2.5 feet away. When i select terminal on stand, the transactions will not go to the terminal and seems like the terminal freezes. The terminal has the latest updates also

Hey there @Soicy. Have you tried a factory reset of your Terminal yet? If not, you’ll want to do this, after which you’ll need to reconnect Terminal to your iPad (I assume you are using the Connected Terminal feature, based on your post.)
Here’s a link to the troubleshooting document for Square Terminal, containing the steps for factory reset.

Hmmm. It’s starting to sound like a defective Terminal. But, first, let’s rule out a couple of other things.
- Am I correct that you are using Terminal in Connected Terminal mode, to act as a customer-facing payment device?
- Which POS are you using — standard, Restaurants, Retail?
- Have you tried deleting your POS app and re-installing it? We might be chasing an issue here in Terminal when the real issue is in the POS software.
