lmorris Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Here is something to consider. Do you run a wireless network with a lot of devices connected to it? We did, when the boss kicked all the cellphones off and changed the router, I have had no issues with mine. It will reach across the 5 bays if needed.

8WA Sman Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Well I got my E version D-Link last week & finally got around to installing it today. I run Windows 7 and today like a dumb/good tech I "NOW" do my research, well it looks like I only needed to get 1 instead of 2......Well since I can't figure out how to post the direct link. Go to PTS - IDS Support - Wireless - D-Link Adapter InformationIf the range still sucks, I may use the other D-Link Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Browning Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 That is why you don't buy shit from Ford unless you cant get it anywhere else... legitimately. I bought two adapters for $25 and free shipping. A few minutes searching and you will find them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmorris Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Went through some big update over the weekend and now it won't recognize my wireless dongle. Anyone else run into this issue? Ha..figures, now it does. Nevermind...won't pick up the VCM..POS.. Anybody rolled back to Windows 7 yet? Wonder how long before IDS catches up with the new update?

Keith Browning Posted September 10, 2016 Author Share Posted September 10, 2016 I finally fixed mine by un-installing everything manually starting with the Bosch software, then IDS. Reinstalled it all and it has been working flawlessly for a week now. AND I am finally using those new dongles I bought and I can connect from about 100 feet. I figured I would try it and it worked... dont know how much further I would need to connect but at leas not I know I can beach a truck outside and do a manual regen with my computer in the shop. Personally, I do not think these problems are a Windows issue. I blame Ford. EVERY time I have problems it's after an IDS update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Keith where did you get the bosch software seperatly from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 11, 2016 Author Share Posted September 11, 2016 Keith where did you get the bosch software seperatly from? I didn't. It comes with IDS and loads automatically. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
forddieseldoctor Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Ok. Then how did you load the bosch software first? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Browning Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 I didn't, never said that I did. I SAID that I UN-installed it first... to point out that I wanted to be sure that it was removed because I am unsure if uninstalling IDS would remove it. I wanted to be sure to reload everything fresh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
