Hi all,
Recieved my reach rtk kit yesterday 
Im using my android galaxy phone as my controller.
I can connect to the reach wifi hotspot but cannot get the reach to connect to my phones hot spot.
In order to create my phones hotspot i enable mobile data which turns off my wifi. Has anyone experienced this issue? Or am i missing a piece to the puzzle?
My impression is that if you have mobile data, then you should be able to create a hotspot.
I have a Galaxy also, but in my case I do not have a mobile data plan, so I installed cyanogenmod which lets me create a hotspot without a cellular internet connection.
So at which point in the process do u activate ur hotspot if originally ur connected to the reach units wifi? Thanks for the reply bide
Hi!
I think it does not really turn your wifi off, just displays mobile network data again. Check if you have a new Wi-Fi network available with another device.
The easiest way is to go to Reach Wi-Fi settings, enter new network details. Then start the hotspot on your phone and power cycle Reach. The phone will likely display a new connection info.
Ok thankyou will give this a go! 
Yay connection! Turns out reach was connected to my mobile data hotspot but āfingā could not find the connection as it was no longer a āwifiā connection. The ip adresss can be viewed through the android settings. Thanks for ur help

How can you find the IP address of the Reach when connected to a mobile phoneās hotspot? Iām trying to connect Reach to my phoneās hotspot but I canāt tell if itās working or not b/c I donāt know how to find out Reachās IP address in this scenario? Fing doesnāt work, no network discovery app Iāve tried to date works. These apps appear to be intended for wifi only. Android 6 marshmallow.
with android under mobile hotspot tab (at least on my samsung note 4 - which may differ from stock android) ip adresses show up!
Doesnāt for me on my Moto G4 Plus running Android 6. I tried my domain name but it canāt resolve it. At this point, I donāt know how to connect to ReachView from my phone when connected to my phoneās hotspot.
try network discovery (android app)
go to options, general, network interface, choose wlan0!
i donāt know if static IP is possible with reach at the momen since i ruined my deviceā¦but of course that would be an option tooā¦
Yes, setting it to wlan0 worked. Thx! I donāt think Reach can be set to static through ReachView. It probably can via SSH on command line. Iām also curious about the reach.local addressā¦I think that uses Bonjour?
