Connect an iFly 740 or 720 to Wi-Fi

The iFly 720, 740 and 740b have Wi-Fi. You use it for two things: downloading chart updates, and connecting to a Wi-Fi ADS-B receiver. The 520 and 700 have no Wi-Fi; they update from an SD card and take ADS-B over a cable.

2.4 GHz only

These units cannot see 5 GHz networks. If your network does not appear in the list, it is almost always a 5 GHz-only network or a Wi-Fi 6 setting on the router. See iFly 740 or 720 will not connect to Wi-Fi.
