Connecting using WiFi

Hello,
The problem is probably on the VHF side. This gateway is just a multiplexer collecting the NMEA0183 data. But, your VHF seems not to be able to send the AIS data in NMEA0183. Check its doc ( www.standardhorizon.com/Files/7B72F1ED-1...7N260_2407G-AS-1.pdf ) in §8.5.1, the position data can be emitted, but nothing about the AIS. With the NMEA2000 protocol, the AIS can be emitted (§15.5), but this protocol cannot be used with the gateway (and not directly to qtVlm).
If you receive the info from the windvane on qtVlm, you are connected to the gateway, so your connection is ok, and you don't need another one.
So it seems that you cannot receive the info about the AIS, but you should receive the GPS infos. Check in the VHF menu, if you emit it correctly (doc §19.9) (hardware connection and baudrate).
Good Luck !

Thanks, I got it working. It was just two different settings in the radio. You had to turn on GPS out and turn on all the sentences. I understand that a professional installer would know this, but how hard would it be to have a quick start along with the radio instructions. I am half way there now. I have GPS AIS and wind to the chart plotter. Autopilot will be here in two weeks and that has WIFI so hopefully it will just connect up.
