when I try to sync anki on desktop I keep getting timeout errors. I already tried to set the timeout duration to 180 seconds but it didn’t solve the issue.

I tried syncing on ankidroid and it works fine.

If your Anki desktop and AnkiDroid are connecting to the internet in different ways, that’s not surprising. Take a look at [Syncing failed: Connection timed out errors when syncing - Anki FAQs](https://faqs.ankiweb.net/syncing-failed-connection-timed-out-errors-when-syncing.html) .
