N456TS Posted August 30, 2015 Report Share Posted August 30, 2015 If anyone has been considering adding the WiFi setup to their Skyview, you don't need to buy the WiFi sticks from Dynon. I just tested a "Edimax EW-7811Un" USB WiFi stick in one of my Skyviews. It recognized it and was happy. The Edimax is only $10. (Amazon sells it).The Dynon branded stick is $35.....and you have to have one per screen. So, I wasn't interested in spending $70, but I'm happy to spend $20. Thought just occured... Do you CT users have Skyview firmware which supports the WiFi? I hear they attempt restrict/control that. Hamburger seems to think an update is a world ending event...

N456TS Posted September 3, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2015 To follow up on this, I got a second WiFi module for the second screen. Everything works; it broadcasts the SSID and Skyview says it's "ONLINE". So, a great way to add the new feature without spending an excessive amount of cash.

Slowpilot Posted January 18, 2022 Report Share Posted January 18, 2022 Hello N456TS! After reading this post a while back I recently purchased a couple wifi usb modules (Tp-Link) from Amazon. When I plug them in I get a "not detected" message. I think I must be missing a critical step here because I think they should work - unless some driver component is necessary. Any thoughts ??

Anticept Posted January 19, 2022 Report Share Posted January 19, 2022 The dynon units run linux. If there isn't a compatible driver in the linux kernel for whatever wifi provider you are plugging in, then it will not be detectable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
