es127 Connection to WiFi

[Trawlerboat]

Good Morning,

I have read some of the previous posts regarding connection problems and the responses by Chuck. However, I think my unit is acting differently.

I tried to connect the es127 to WiFi, it finds many WiFi connections at the marina, however it seems to be stuck on the following...

SSID: 1X001X001X001X001X001X001X001X001X001X001X00
Status: Connecting
Signal strength: Strong
Security: None
Channel:6

I have a e125 MFD, DST800, i70, P70R, RCU-3, RDL235, ST1-STNG in the network.

I need to get passed the above device to try and connect but can't get passed this connection.

Can you provide some direction please and thank you...

Regards
Barry

Hi Barry,
First and foremost are both the eS127 and the e125 running the same software version?
From the home screen, setup--->maintenance--->diagnostics--->select device

The both need to be on the same software version and should be above version 15.XX
Secondly, Only 1 MFD on the same SeaTalkhs network can be
connected to an access point at a time, all networked
MFDs will share this connection.

Additionally, when the MFD’s Wi-Fi is enabled it will automatically
connect to previously accessed Access points /mobile hotspots within range.

Yes they are all running 17.45. Turns our the e125 was connected to the es127 Wifi, hence the strange address. I redirected the e125 to my iPhone and it now connects fine. I will do the same for the es127 this evening...

Thank you

Barry
