Updated solution: I was still having intermittent success at connecting my iPad to my PC and I changed the following setting and immediately stopped having connectivity issues.
In the taskbar, right click on the Remote Bridge icon and click ‘setup’.
By default, there will likely 3 boxes checked: vEthernet (wifi); vEthernet (Ethernet) & Wifi.
I unchecked both vEthernet protocols. The very same instant, my iPad connected. Bonus, I have wifi repeaters in my house to get better coverege and I no longer need to be connected to the same exact repeater. I can have my pc connected to the repeater, and my iPad connected to the main router and Remote Bridge connects either way. Hope this solution works for you!
