Does anybody know what this window means?

I get it occasionally.  Only cure is to turn it off and reboot.

thanks

Generally speaking the operating system sees another device operating on the same IP address it believes that it was assigned.  To minimize conflict it turns off the network adapter from a software perspective to compromise the network.

That mac address is associated with an apple device, or at least an apple developed network chip.  Android has had an occasional issue where it doesnt properly release its IP address from one session to the next.  So the iFly device probably at .100 the last time it was powered on.  This time the apple device received an address first, ignore the "static" portion of the message.  When the iFly device tried to register with the .100 it saw something else was using it and disabled the network.  

Short of a reboot of the iFly, I can not comment on the best way to fix.

From what CTH says , could very well be your iPhone. Might try turning iphone off while iFly is trying to connect to the Echo..then power iphone back up. Easy to try. I dont think anything else close by has wifi capability

I checked the settings in the iFly for familar wiFi's.

There is only the echo in the list.

I do sometimes update the software on my home WiFi, but I always tell it to Forget the device before I put it back in the plane.

Dunno

Thanks for the thoughts

Another thought

 

I should try deleting the echo from my iphone.

It is probably trying to connect to the echo.

It just happens occasionally.
