Hello,
I have 2 Reach units that functions as DGPS.
I tries to connect them to my Wifi network and succeed only with 1 unit.
I follow the instruction on:
Hopefully someone knows the whereabouts of the wireless configuration.
I would say that if Reach stores your Wifi essid, then you can search for it as a keyword. Maybe ssh into the working unit and do this:
su
cd /etc
grep -r my_essid * # where my_essid is your home network id
If that doesn’t turn up anything, then:
cd /
grep -r my_essid *
…and let me know if you find it.
Now I can’t connect to the units both by wifi/hotspot or by USB.
I need them working by tomorrow, what should I do?

Follow the flashing instructions in the docs.
https://docs.emlid.com/reach/common/reachview/firmware-reflashing/
Instead of the GUI method, I recommend the ‘terminal guide’ for your operating system:
https://docs.emlid.com/reach/common/reachview/firmware-reflashing/#terminal-guide
Flashing from Linux seems to be very reliable. Flashing from Windows sometimes works fine, and sometimes it can be tricky.
Some additional tips, if you are having trouble:
use the original USB cable, or at least one designed for data
disconnect any external power drains from Reach (like external radio)
use a powered USB hub if your computer USB sockets don’t supply enough power
Good Luck!

Hi,
Thank you for your assistance.
I will try to do the firmware reflashing as you recommend
I have an important issue: I have recorded logs files (.ubx) as part of my work.
Will the firmware reflashing delete the log files from the device?
Best regards,
Shelly

Yes, firmware reflashing will delete everything.
If if will be difficult for you to collect that data again, then you should make some additional attempts to recover your data before reflashing.
