setting up WiFi (10.2.1)

It looks like, the dialog screen in the SETUP page is different, and provides for several new options.

That WiFi setup page is changed for 10.2.1, different format, and includes more options. Your linked instruction page does not appear to reflect that.

I had the WiFi working fine with 10.2.0. I can probably fiddle around and get it done, but prefer to refer to docs first.

did you get the WiFi to work?
I can't find the network on my tablets.  10.2.1

Any idea when the update will be arriving and how.

After the shop upgraded me to 10.2.1, my wifi setup in local mode has an IP address of 127.0.0.1, and that works just fine for me.  I connect to the 540 with no problems.  This of course won't help the remote users, but perhaps it will help for those who can't connect at all.  Then again, I don't know what it was before the upgrade.

Just did update 10.2.1 today with no issues. Although I have a picture of the wifi and bluetooth config pages from 10.2.0 just prior to the update, I now have no wifi and bluetooth config pages.

I understand both of the things you point out. FYI, I did not have a GNS 530 before the IFD 540; the callout did work from the day it was released. The setting for it is still ON in the USER-1 settings. And, I do get TOD tones, so the audio circuit is still viable. The callout is simply no longer occurring at all the airports to which I had received the callout, typically as I rolled out of the turn from downwind to base. I used it as a confirmation that I was in proper position to continue the approach to landing, whether on base or on final during an instrument approach.

It worked perfectly.  My WiFi was set to something other than local.
Once I changed it, all connected correctly.

Can we still operate in remote mode. I'm not having any luck with attaching to the Stratus 2.

I use remote mode, but have not reconfigured since 10.2.1.

Where is the 10.2.1 update? Can't find it on avidynes' web site. Or is it a shop install??

Thanks , I will try this today.

Not sure if the 2 vice 2S delta has any effect.

George wrote: I tried this setup and still no joy. I work fine in local mode. The IPAD  sees the Stratus , but the IFD does not. I have to be doing something wrong.  Any advise? The Stratus 2  is a 2 not a 2s. I have tried many variations of the id starting with "Stratus202350" which the IPAD sees. It is a Stratus 2 with serial number 202350. Any help.

OK, now on the IFD network configuration page (maintenance mode), enter "Stratus202350" for the SSID and choose "Remote Wi-Fi" for the mode.  Then post a picture of that.

It appears that you can only have one SSID, for both.

The SSID is simply the name of the network.  In local mode, the IFD is the server and other devices connect to it using that SSID.  In remote mode, the IFD is a client, so the SSID must match the name of the network to which you want the IFD to connect.  In the case of the Stratus, the SSID is something like "Stratus2s01234" (refer to Stratus Pilots Guide).
