Frustration with wifi setup

<< < (2/2)

WayneC:
There seems to be some confusion re set up & the 2 browser based modes of operation

The first is
"A few basic assumptions:
The unit does not need to be connected to wifi if it plugged into the macbook and the macbook has a strong wifi connection (which it does)"

The MAC App does not operate into the USB port, the GS911 MAC App simply finds the GS911 on WiFi & opens the web browser then the menu loads from the GS911, the USB port is not needed & so either use Phone/GS911/MobileNet or MAC/GS911/Home WiFi not MAC to Phone to GS911

Secondly the update updates the firmware in the GS911 not the MAC App

Lastly Modes of operation

Mode 1 is D2D, (Device to Device), with this mode the MAC/PC/Phone logs into the GS911 hot spot to do local simple diagnostics & normally used when out on the road & there is no mobile coverage

Mode 2 is Infrastructure Mode which would normally be used in the workshop where access to cloud server maintenance functions are required & you use

With the phone you would have the GS911 set up to log into the phone hot spot

With the MAC set up the MAC & the GS911 to each log into your WiFi network & open the GS911 App it should find the GS911 on your WiFi net & open a browser to give you the GS911 Menu so use Phone/GS911/MobileNet or MAC/GS911/Home WiFi

In D2D & Infrastructure Mode you then use the WiFi Setup Menu & Network Test to test connection to the WiFi network & access to the cloud server
