Hi - I’ve not used my RS2’s for about 8 months so I’m rusty.
I have a base and a rover that I want to connect to in the field so I set them up as hotspots. I can connect to their respective wifi networks. Then I can see the connected RS2 in the initial reachview list but when I try to access the unit the screen just hangs and eventually asks to reload the app. In the network list of my android device the RS2 hotspot shows with the message “connected, no internet” which I assume is the problem? No amoun of rebooting will change this. I can happily connect both RS2’s to my office network, all firmware and the app is/are up to date.
What am I doing wrong? Is there a ‘doh!’ moment coming up? It was easy last time!
Could you please clarify whether you tried to connect to the devices via a browser? You can connect to their hotspots and just type 192.168.42.1 in the address bar.
No I cannot properly connect to my RS2 via it’s WiFi hotspot. I get an error message saying that there is no internet "reach.1F.54 no internet, secured’. So I assume wireless is working but without IP.
The steps I used were:-
Turn office WiFi off.
Turn RS2 on - scans for networks (blue flash) then settles into hotspot mode (continuous white LED)
Open browser window
Select reach:1F:54 from list of networks and click to connect
When asked for password type “emlidreach”
after a short delay the WiFi connection is described as “no internet, secured”
nothing appears in the browser window using 192.168.42.1 except the error message “Firefox can’t establish a connection to the server at 192.168.42.1.”
This problem is identical on both the RS2 units that I have following firmware upgrade
