i looked on the fing app for my hotspot ip but still no joy…

Hi Jason,

Did you make sure that your phone is discoverable? You can do it in Portable hotspot settings.

Hi there.
The phone is discoverable and my laptop can connect to it …
Baffling :face_with_monocle:
Thank you for your reply.
Is there something in reach view that I must do?

Jason,

What’s the LED behavior after creating a new connection in ReachView app?

Hi @jayairuav,

Can you clarify some of the following points, please?

What’s the distance between Reach and hotspot?
What firmware version do you have on your Reach?

In regards to iPhone X hotspot, does your cell carrier plan allows sharing the Internet via hotspot?
When using a Wi-Fi dongle, how do you power it in the field?
Does Reach connect to its hotspot?

Could you send full system report from Reach connected to Wi-Fi dongle?

Thanks in advance.

What type of phone? Apple or Android?

My reach will NOT connect to my iPhone UNLESS I connect something to my iPhone first. Then my Reach is able to connect.

Hi there.

thank you for your quick reply.
i have a mobile broadband device which is 4G and it all works on the same wifi network.
I.E , emlid reach device, mobile internet, smartphone.
the distance is within meters.
i have the latest version of the software.
the dongle allows connection as everything is connected.
The wifi dongle has a lithium battery it is a EE mobile broadband dongle and apparently the best device on the market and has 6 hours connection time and 30 hrs standby mode.
once i have asked the reach to connect to the corresponding WiFi …Ie smartphone, computer .
it connects perfectly…i have the ip address and can connect.

I have an iPhone X with 4G network

Hi Jason,

Sorry for late response.

Have you tried connecting to your iPhone at home or in the area without any known Wi-Fi networks? Could you please make sure that your iPhone isn’t connected to a known Wi-Fi network while you are trying to do it? Or did you finally manage to connect M+ to your iPhone’s hotspot and I can mark this thread as resolved?
