Skydemon unable to connect to Pilot Aware wifi

[Petertd]

My iPad see's the wifi from the PA unit, there is a tick next to the PA wifi identifier on the iPad, but No Wifi fan in the top left hand corner of the iPad when.  Sykdemon displays an error 'unable to connect to butterfly' unit when the flarm option is selected in start navigation !!! the bridge has an alternating red and green light flashing that I've not noticed before !!- any one any idea's ??

Hi Peter

Yes, I't been working fine for months, flew down to Old Warden on Friday, came to fly back, connection to the PA unit failed, have tried two iPads and my iPhone all with Skydemon and Runway HD that have always worked with this PA, swapped out the wifi dongle with a spare, still no connection with the Butterfly connect unit ? baffled !!

Peter,

Just so we know the starting point, is this your original home built unit with a bridge added, or a newer PAW Classic?

Next issue is - Does your PilotAware Wifi still show up in the Wifi list on your pad/phone 'settings' screen?

I had an issue with my iPad not connecting with the same error, I rebooted the iPad (shutdown then powered up again) and it came back to life and been fine ever since. 
I have seen this from time to time following iOS updates, where once updated all seems OK for a while but often another manual reboot will fix various oddities.

This is my new Classic PAW,  Wifi shows up on the iPads and iPhone setting list. Tried re-booting all the devices, still the same. All setting in Skydemon and Runway HD checked and are correct.
I'm suspecting the Bridge may have failed as I see these two alternating red and green LEDs flashing on it. !!

Hi Peter,

If you are connected to the WiFi, can you go to the home page to see what it says ?
http://192.168.1.1      (corrected!)
Please post the full page here
I am wondering if the license expired ?

Actually I see from the database you renewed, have you entered the license file ?
If you post the home page I can work out if this is the issue, though I suspect you may as well.

Ding! (Update)
Yes, your old license expired Thurs/8 - I suspect this is the issue

Thx

Doh !! that worked     
The renewal licence never occurred to me as it was renewed end of May. 

To stop idiots like me wasting your time, it could help others if a note was put onto the licence renewal email TELLING us to enter the key into the PAW. 

Many thanks for your patience and help !!

Easy mistake Peter, glad you've got it running again. Good suggestion re advising users on the e-mail that 'To take effect, this Key MUST be entered in the Configure Page of your PilotAware'
