Connecting to box using WiFi hotspot

[eattheliving]

Good morning all,
I am trying to connect my duo2 using WiFi hotspot on my mobile but cannot seem to get it to connect. It picks up the WiFi network but when I check to see if there is a network connection it says it’s not.
I am running the vix 5.2.034 image.
Any ideas please?

Cheers

Temporarily turn of security and try just to see if it’s that

Security on which device pal?

The phone hotspot

if you want connection to internet then internet sharing needs to be active on your phone .Otherwise as mentioned check security settings on both

thanks guys. not sure how to turn that setting off on my phone though. All I do to tether my ipad to the phones internet is a activate the wifi-hotspot feature and that works but it doesn't work for the wifi on the duo2?

I wonder if phone cable hook up on phone and usb on box would make a connection.

Tried that pal. I have usb tethering option on my phone. Plugged into the box but still nothing.
I’m thinking it’s a setting or something on the box because I can tether straight away to my iPad.

Sorted. I’m like a Pratt. Didn’t put the encryption key in on the box. Derrrrr.
