    Wifi light stays red

    Is anyone else having issues with connecting your ST via network mode?
    When I turn on my ST now, the Wifi light flashes red and then stays red. It doesn't turn orange and try to connect to my network.
    I can still connect my ST via direct mode, but I haven't been able to connect via network mode recently.

    What's the fix for this? anyone know?

    Mine recently did this as well. I power cycled my router and then restarted the skytrak and it worked.

        According to the ST guide I've got, the green power light with a solid red Wi-Fi light and a solid red Ready light means that the ST is in Direct mode and waiting for the connection with the ST app. I'm having a similar but slightly different issue. I'm getting a solid yellow Wi-Fi light and a solid red Ready light, which means that the unit is connected to a network but waiting for connection to the app software. So it sounds like your problem is no connection to the app in direct mode while mine is no app connection in network mode. (I've been trying to always use network mode to minimize data sync problems when shifting between direct and network modes.)

        I recently started using my ST with a computer to try out the E6 demo. In the process, I've found that both the data sync and the connection between the ST unit and the software app do not work as well when the ST is connected to the PC compared with my iPad 2 Mini. Last night, after a delay of several minutes, the data did finally sync up and the ST unit did connect to the software app on the PC, but today the ST unit wouldn't connect to the app on the PC (and I got the green-yellow-red lights on my ST). The ST Wi-Fi light showed flashing yellow and then solid yellow, while the Ready light has stayed red. At the same time, the E6 software finds the ST unit fairly quickly, and I get 3 green lights (and the red laser dot), without even having the ST app open on the PC. In trying to get into the ST app to align the ST unit, I found out that the ST app on my iPad still connects to the ST unit quickly even though the ST app on the PC won't connect at all.

        Any suggestions for Arwin's original problem or my related issue that seems to affect only the PC and not the iPad connection?
