GS-911 "Wi-Fi" Will NOT Connect to Wi-Fi

[GixY2K]

I own a 2015 S1000RR and recently switched from the GS-911 Blu to the Wi-Fi version.  And although I am fully aware of the "temporary" incompatibility issue with my bike specific year/model, I tried to connect the GS-911 Wi-Fi with my home Wi-Fi without success.

The GS911 computer program (Windows 7 64bit) allows me to see the GS911 Wi-Fi using the USB cable, but will not see any WiFi networks when doing a Wi-Fi "discover" attempt.

Does the GS-911 have to be connected to a compatible bike for it to see the WiFi networks.

Please advise.
