*****Part 2 Wireless/WiFi connection when ISTA+ diagnostics
you can use wifi during diagnosis with ISTA+. but sometimes, the connetion will be cut off automatically and program prompts you to continue connection

Wlan settings
go to ICOM Configuration Manger, and select Wlan settings-> Security type:WPA2 personal. the password should be the same with that of router. then save data and unplug and re-plug the Lan cable to connect to icom. it is impossible to diagnose via wifi if password is not set
(NOTE: this is not for USB WiFi; USB wifi comes with password and router setup)
