Question - Conneciton
If the new WiFi Stoker has WiFi, why would my iphone not see that as a network? I could connect directly to that signal, just like it was any other wifi.
Am I off? -Frank

Now, some phones have that fancy "hot spot" technology built into them. In this case, when you turn the hot spot on, your phone is now a network access point and if you configure your WiFi stoker to get it's IP information from the hot spot, then they two can talk with each other without a router. After all that, here's the answer to your question: The WiFi Stoker is not a network access point, so your phone will not see it as a network. -NCGrimbo

You don't have to have the bridge anymore.

Without the router, you have a bridge to nowhere. Networking just doesn't work that way. You HAVE to have an access point. Either a router or setting your phone/ipad up as a hot spot.

Just follow the directions step by step and you should be good to go. It's pretty straightforward. The one mistake I made was changing it to wifi on the web interface before I changed it to wifi on the device.
