    Connecting to box using WiFi hotspot

    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

    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?

    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.
