EB3 Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 I bought two Dynon wi-fi USB adaptors to create a wi-fi environment in my CTLS in order to upload flight plans created in ForeFlight. As you may or may not know, if your CTLS is equipped with 2 Skyviews, then you must have an adaptor in each unit for wi-fi. Upon removing my Dynons to access the USB ports in the back, I discovered there was already one adaptor installed, so all I needed was one more. Now I have an extra adaptor. Before I return the extra to Dynon, does anyone here need or want an adaptor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 If two are needed, why was there only one installed? I mean, do you really need two, if not I would purchase the extra one you have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why there was one already installed is strange - I don't think that's normal. My understanding was that an adaptor isn't standard a component on a unit, it's an add-on item.

Roger Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Agreed. However, with only one installed, perhaps any WiFi download MAY only work on the unit with the adapter attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site says for "redundancy" you'd have to have both units equipped with an adaptor, which tells me you can have wifi with one or both units. Regardless, I'm glad to have both units equipped. I wouldn't want one unit to be jealous of the other. Sooo, I still have an extra adaptor, if anyone wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animosity2k Posted August 8, 2019 Report Share Posted August 8, 2019 I can also vouch the $11 Dongles on Amazon also work fine! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
