1.What was the password used when you configurated Iphone hotspot?
2.Who many reach units have you turned on? in the picture above it looks like your have more then one?
3.Reach doesnt handle IP address with one digit at the end and subnet nr 2, so, address of this type 192.168.2.X doesnt work well. Can you show or see that this isnt happening?
4.Also is your iphone running latest firmware?
5.I am not familiar with Iphone and from fing pictures above it looks like you see reach, but not in the way you should if iphone were running the hotspot, to me it looks like reach is running the hotspot and NOT your iphone.
6. If you had pressed my network at the bottom of the Fing screen, i would guess a reach hotspot is visible?
It looks like reach is working, but you are not able to connect it to your local wifi. So, at some stage a bad configuration/setting is made.
reach:f2:bf is the reach units own hotspot. So if you type in the reach.local in the browser it should connect you to the reachview screen and the reach module, A screen shot of this would probably be helpful. On the add wifi screen(blue +) you need to add the name of your wifi site that has internet access. then use fing to find the address for the reach module on that site after rebooting the reach it should connect to that site you just entered.
hello Wong
I would suggest just following one of these set ups for now. If you use your laptop as below it should be easier to follow.
You need to know which wifi hotspot your laptop connects to have internet access. I find it much easier to work from the laptop myself until you have things set up.

I think you should get logged into that reach:f2:bf as before on your iphone . Then with blue + sign add your wifi spot name ASUS and enter the password for it also create it. Now connect to the ASUS wifi spot it should show up in fing or on the reach app as below (this is the reach app for locating reach devices).
Network: ASUS,
Security: WPA2-PSA (Question: Is this correct? There are several other names as well such as WEP, WPA-PSK, WPAEAP, Open.) In any case, I selected WPA2-PSA as it seems to be shown as the default and also in the documentation.
Password: (xxxxxx)
Network ASUS added successfully.
Shut down REACH RS.
Start ASUS Wi-Fi, connect laptop to it. iPhone wifi still off.
Summary: The good news is that REACH RS has ASUS added to its network.
I checked the network available on the laptop. It does not show reach:f2:bf anymore, even with the REACH RS turned on.
Redo your above steps.
At step 6 delete the **reach:f2:bf as Bide had indicate earlier.
step 7 connect to ASUS
step 8 Do not shut down the reach RS
step9 connect your laptop to ASUS
step 10 use fing to find the address of reach on ASUS network.(you have to connect your iphone to ASUS wifi)
step 11 enter the address from step 10 in your browser
Everything has to be on the same network to be able to talk to each other.
It could take a minute or two to connect step 9
Step 7: Connect to ASUS for both laptop and iPhone.
Step 8: REACH RS is kept on.
Step 9: Done in step 7.
Step 10: I presume you are referring to the iPhone connecting to fing. This is what I did and got IP address for reach:f2:bf as 192.168.42.0/24. See below
Step 11: Enter in the laptop browser (not iPhone) 192.168.42.0/24. Not successful as shown below. It hops back to 192.168.42.0 and says the site can’t be reached.
