e97 and e127 will not connect to wifi

Tony,

Should your MFD's Wi-Fi communications circuitry be operational and should the features of a Wi-Fi hot spot which were identified within the previously referenced FAQ prevent your MFD from accessing the Internet to download software update files and/or to download Theyr Weather GRIB files, then it is recommended that the software update files and/or Theyr Weather GRIB files be downloaded to a computer. These files may then be copied to a microSD memory card which will then be inserted into your MFD's memory card reader to support updating the MFD's software and/or to be used by the MFD's Theyr Weather app.

Should the problem be rooted in the MFD being unable to connect to the Internet via a mobile device which has been configured as a mobile Wi-Fi hot spot, then it is recommended that the mobile device's name/SSID be manually set and that it additionally be verified that the name/SSID contain no apostrophes, quotation marks, or spaces.
