GPSMAP 66s WIFI problem (hospot)

Unread post by fujitsu »

Hi,

I can not connect my GPSMAP 66s with my smartphone when it is configured as a WIFI hotspot.

I connect my GPSMAP 66s with my home WIFI network with no problem. But when I try to connect to my smartphone, when it is a hotspot, the GPSMAP 66s says connecting...

My home WIFI network is protected with WPA/WPA2 and my phone (android) has WPA2 PSK. Is the WPA2 PSK a problem?

Does anyone have the same problem?

Many thanks
Antonio

I have been able to do this in the past.

Just retested with a Samsung Galaxy S8 Active (android 9) with a WPA2-PSK security protocol Wi-Fi Hotspot enabled, and have no apparent issues connecting to the internet from my GPSMAP 66s v6.00.
