Airdrop discovery takes ages

Hi,


I'm posting a question here because every-time I want to use AirDrop, wether it be from my iPhone to my MacBook Air or vice-versa, AirDrop's searching of a device takes a really long time, and sometimes it doesn't even work at all. Both my devices are set to "AirDrop: Everyone" and they usually are both connected to the same Wi-Fi network. They are of course next to each other (10 cms away).


Am I the only one having this issue? And if so, is there anything I can do to have a quick AirDrop pairing between my two devices?


Sincerely,


Horclok.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.2
