I don't understand what you are talking about. What is the model name of this 'docking station'?

I didn't know about it. http://www.buysena.com/WiFi-Docking-Station.html

Now I'm trying to understand how your home wifi network is related to your smartphone

you need your home wifi for the docking station to get on the internet so it can due the updates

If you don't have a computer or laptop then you need this docking station. Some headsets update vie the bluetooth connection to the phone like my Uclear. But still have to update the Sena with a cable and laptop.

I wouldn’t worry about it. Updates are only once or twice a year at tops. I have never updated mine in 3 years. Simply update it on the computer and use the docking for charging. I use my sena evo 20’s every day and play music everyday through them so the mic is open on the way to work. I maybe recharge mine once a month at tops. Why do you need it charged so often? If you’re on a trip away from home, take the cords and plug it into the wall or take your charger unit but you shouldn’t be needing it that often. If power is your concern get a portable battery jumpstart pod and plug your pods into it with the USB cable supplied. It will charge then in 2 hours if completely dead.

That I understand.

Yes, I understand that. What has that got to do with your phone?

Is it that you are using your phone as a hotspot to connect your other devices to the internet?

I think of a home wifi as one that uses a modem/router for a hard wire connection to the internet. Very different from using a cellular hotspot.

The dock uses an app on your phone to do the wifi setup.

Ah, that explains it. Thanks.
