Prevent linking problems with your WiFi network<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Mechanics who purchase a J-Rex sometimes run into the problem that the remote does not want to connect properly to their Wi-Fi network. The OBD Wifi Connect App solves this problem by providing a simple and efficient roadmap.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

Step 1: Reset the J-Rex<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step is to reset the J-Rex. You do this by pressing the reset button for 3 seconds with the reset pin provided. No pin left? No problem, a paperclip or the pin from a SIM card slot also works. <\/p>\n\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Step 2: Enter barcode number or scan barcode<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Now you can manually enter the serial number of the J-Rex or simply scan the barcode. Is the entry or scan successful? Then you will see a green tick appear behind the serial number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3: Connect to a network<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Click \"Connect\" and the app will automatically search for all available networks nearby. Select the network you want to connect the J-Rex to. It is also possible to connect to a hotspot. If necessary, enter the password and click \"Connect\" again. The app starts a 60-second timer and once the green light at the Ethernet port lights up continuously, you will know that the connection was successful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 4: Confirm the connection<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Once the timer is set to 0, the app asks if the green LED is on continuously. Is this the case? Then click \"Yes\" to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the link is successfully completed, a green tick will appear on the screen. This assures you that everything is set up correctly and that you can get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
