(Better?) Instructions for using D2D betwen iPhone 911-Wifi with iPhone hotspot?
« on: May 11, 2026, 07:49:55 PM »
I have the Hex GS-911 user manual dated 3/26  -  Edition 17
Either I missed it or the latest enhancements for using a WiFi 911 w/ an iphone including hotspot doesn't seem to be covered completely...

Is there a separate document?
Did I miss it somehow?
or do I just need to be more patient with the technical writer?   ;)

Thanks,
Jim

Afraid it has been years since I looked at D2D let alone with an iPhone Jim, has the GS911 ever been configured ?

I would go the other way of having the iPhone connect to the GS911 using the App

Hey Wayne!!!

Thanks for jumping in ... :-)

I didn't do a stellar job of describing my issue....
I have a red-wifi-version GS-911 and I installed recently released the iPhone app (iphone 17 pro)
and was trying to set that up...

The sequence of steps of attaching to the wifi network offered by the 911
turning on the iPhone's hotspot for internet access and etc....
was a little confusing to me ...

but:
I was in a hurry
it was my first time trying it
the prompts didn't quite make sense
and...... I wasn't taking notes

other than that I should have been a total success ... right?    ::)

JR

The Hex forum was down or not accessible from Oz earlier, just got the new post email

I looked at the iPhone a long time ago to write a simple instruction & the GS911 side was straight forward to me but trying to understand the iPhone HotSpot setup to be the same IP No each time you activated it confused me

I think the trick if you could call it that is to do the iPhone HotSpot then that gives a target for directing the GS911 to it with the App & saving the config so you can then use the button on top to select the iPhone HotSpot

At one point I had 4 network settings in the GS911 for 3 workshops I was going to plus my home WiFi net, the GS911 just considers the iPhone HotSpot as a network
