Setup > Connectivity > Networks

Both my Stratux and Dynon HDX show up, and I can connect to either using the Connect LSK, and both work well as ADS-B hosts, with the IFD as the client. But now, I'd like to not connect to either. Problem is, my IFD540 (10.3.1.2) automatically connects to the last one it connected to. I cannot figure out how to manually disconnect, and to tell the IFD540 to never connect again.

Help please.

How about just turning off WiFi?

Thanks Steve. I turned off WIFI and it did disconnect, but when I turned WIFI back on, it reconnected. I'd like to put it in the state it was in before connecting to the Stratux and HDX - WIFI ON, and not connected to either. Can you tell me how?

There's no "Forget this network" function built into the IFD. That's a good idea, though, so I'll add it to the suggested features database.

In the meantime, you'll have to fake it. If the network has a password, you can change it on the IFD so that it fails to connect. Another option would be to turn on the IFD network and the IFD will use that instead of connecting to either the Stratux or HDX networks.
