Nrf Connect for PC fails to negotiate ATT_MTU > 247 bytes

[Peter Kenyon]

Using nRF Connect for PC Version 2.6.1

Connect to a peripheral device that ask for an ATT_MTU > 247 bytes

NRF Connect fails with 

Failed to call gattsExchangeMtuReply (NRF_ERROR_INVALID_PARAM)

This is a show stopper

Hi,

I see that you wrote in this post that the negotiation fails. Are you still able to maintain the BLE connection to the peripheral after this happens? 

[Peter Kenyon]

Nope the connection gets dropped with Disconnected from device C0:3B:56:B0:AB:1F, reason: BLE_HCI_REMOTE_USER_TERMINATED_CONNECTION, (probably caused by a gattc timeout on peripheral)

Thank you for reporting this. This is a bug in nRF Connect BLE app, and I have reported it to the nRF Connect developers.
