Es98 wifi connection

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum bbistis,

Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. As Raymarine's Mobile Apps are communicating correctly with the MFD, it would seem very unlikely that there is an issue with your MFD's Wi-Fi communications circuitry.

It is recommended that all apps, including those running in the background be closed (YouTube has several videos addressing how to close background apps which may be of assistance). Should the
- MFD's Wi-Fi (HOME->SET-UP->WIRELESS CONNECTIONS->WI-FI->WI-FI) be configured to ON, and
- should the MFD's Wi-Fi not list any Wi-Fi access points (HOME->SET-UP->WIRELESS CONNECTIONS->WI-FI->WI-FI NETWORKS) not list any Wi-Fi access points, and
- should one's mobile device list Wi-Fi access points in the vicinity of the vessel,
then it would be recommended that the MFD be sent to Raymarine’s Product Repair Center to be bench checked / serviced.

The Wi-Fi Networks configuration setting is used to support product software updates via the MFD's Wi-Fi communications interface and to support Theyr Weather. However, when seeking to use Raymarine Mobile Apps or Navionics Boating app, the Wi-Fi Sharing feature (HOME->SET-UP->WIRELESS CONNECTIONS->WI-FI->WI-FI SHARING) is used. Should the Raymarine Mobile Apps or Navionics Boating app fail to establish communications with the MFD, then it is recommended that you verify that the MFD has been updated with latest available Raymarine product software update and that all apps (including background apps) be closed on the mobile device except for the single app which will be communicating with the MFD.
