What are the Wi-Fi Limitations for my GDL 59?

The GDL® 59 has some very specific Wi-Fi limitations and it is recommended that they are followed so that there are no connectivity issues. 

• B/G or G mode.

• Fully IEEE 802.11g compatible.

• All access points must be coupled to a DHCP server.

• The network shall support data transfer via HTTP and HTTPS and allow outgoing connections to the internet on port 80 and port 443.

• Networks that include web proxies, captive portal, or other elements that require user credentials, including a username and password or a redemption or access code; or require action such as accepting a user agreement, are not supported for data transfer from the GDL 59.

• The access point must be capable of receiving at a rate of 18 Mbps.

• The Wi-Fi network shall be compatible with WEP64, WEP128, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK encryption formats, and with all of those formats associated encryption combinations and options; or compatible to be used with no encryption.  WPA-Enterprise and WPA2-Emterprise are not supported.

• If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK are used, the access point must not be set to auto-select between them.
