My wifi has no password protection. Lost wifi in flight. Verified ADSB in was working on my phone. Checked again today same thing, Changed Adsb device and it connected for 2 min then lost again (same network name no password). Connected to my phone and downloaded TFRs, then lost phone connection soon after. I select network in the root menu when it boots up and the spinning icon is there and never enters network page. It always responds to power button asking if I want to shut ir down..... It's not locking up.

I think it is the wifi usb dongle. Will any wifi dongle for a raspberry pi work or do I need to get one from iFly.

BTW -Dynon D120 gets NMEA data from iFly and it works great! Such a cool device!

Just need to get my wifi back up.

While I'm no expert, I'm going to suppose that any WiFi dongle should work, since iFly easily connects witn all of the other ADSB-Out devices with all of their random, non iFly WiFi devices. 

As I recall the Raspberry Pi/Stratux program is an open source program that simply outputs the ADSB information through whatever WiFi equipment you plug into it.
