Is there a maximum number of wifi connected devices?

How many devices can be connected to SkyView Wifi Adapter?

1.

Sorry if my question was not clear. I know I can only connect one adapter to each display but I definitely can connect multiple devices the wifi adapter. For example, I have my iPad and my Huvver connected with Skyview via wifi.

What I need to know if there is a max limitation of devices that can be connected.

It was clear. Still 1. I tried connecting 2 iPads at once and while it worked for a while, it became unreliable until I shut one down. I emailed Dynon and here's what they said.

"Unfortunately at this time our WI-FI system only supports connection to 1 device at a time."

Strange (but thanks anyway). Are they talking about the wifi or adsb connection? I'm currently flying (and seeing them connected to my Skyview network) with the Huvver (acting as backup "ish" AI), my phone (showing even traffic) and a device that I built to display EMS data via UDP.

Wifi. Adsb is delivered via wifi. I've had two iPads work. But have had both drop out until one was shut down. So that's what prompted my email to them. Here's the full response.

"Unfortunately at this time our WI-FI system only supports connection to 1 device at a time. That would be the reason why you guys were having the connection issues. I've made a note in our request system using your use case. You guys certainly weren't the first to try multiple devices at the same time, and I know some other systems support that over bluetooth or wifi."

This was in regards to a certified hdx.

if you have two iPads connected you will occasionally see a loss of WiFi on one or both iPads. It auto recovers. This has improved but still happens on occasion. I routinely have my IFD 540 and a single iPad running Foreflight with no problems. Once a second iPad is connected it will loose WiFi on occasion, but auto recovers.

This may explain the many drop outs. Thank you all.
