You could start your frontend with -v network.

With default (-v general) logging, you may see:

     Client Socket disconnected

but that looks like the result of a problem, not the cause.

You'll also see things like:

  NetworkControl::receiveCommand(key down)
  BACKEND_MESSAGE[]:[]SYSTEM_EVENT NET_CTRL_DISCONNECTED SENDER ofc0[]:[]empty

the 2nd one is a result of a normal closing of the app. But if
you didn't close it, perhaps it's a local network issue.

I'd fire up Wireshark on the FE that's failing and see what's
going on:

     wireshark -i ethYOURS -f 'host yourTabletPhoneEtcIPorHostname'
