Internet between the controller and Spark

My Spark and controller are connected, but my phone (device of choice) says that the wifi is unavailable. The controller and the Spark are connected, though? Any ideas?

Is it saying not connected, or no internet? Mine always comes up with a warning for connected no internet because of course the spark isn't connected to the internet.

Are you sure the message doesn't say 'internet' not available. If the phone is connected to your controller by wifi, it will not be connected to the internet via that connection, and this is what the phone will be reporting.

It says No internet, but the spark flies fine via the controller. I was just worried that it would fly off and cut out or something. Am I worrying for nothing?

Yes. It will obviously show "No Internet" on the WiFi connection between controller and your mobile device. The data is being exchanged via wireless LAN and not the Internet. So no issues there.

That's how it's supposed to work.
