Got my firmware updated. Latest downloads worked well. Took minutes instead of days. But now came a new problem. I can no longer connect to Wifi when the SSID is not broadcasting. I enter the SSID select security and enter the key and the ifly is never able to connect. It doesn't even seem to try. I've tried 3 different routers(Airport, dlink and 3com) with the same results. If I enable ssid broadcasts it connects fine AND if I disable it AFTER the connection is established and saved the ifly is still able to connect later. It seems like the ifly has to see the ssid first before it will attempt to add it to the list.

Hi Jon,

Thank you reporting this. We will try and duplicate the problem here. With the iFly, it may be a requirement that the SSID be broadcasting.. will do some checking and report back on the forum.

With the prior version of firmware (.13?) it worked fine.

Hows this coming? It's getting kind of old going to public wifi or waiting to go into an fbo to update as it takes soooo long to peform updates in these environment.

I also tried taking it to work where the ssid is broadcast and discovered there's not support for WPA Enterprise or certificate.
