My understanding of a hotspot was that the phone takes an existing wifi/data connection and makes it available to other wireless devices?
I'll check it out!
Thanks!
it’s creating its own WiFi network - that’s the name and password you have to give it when you turn it on - and then connecting that network to the internet over either another WiFi network or the cellular network.
But if I’m understanding this correctly, all you need is for the bike computer and the tablet to be on the same subnet so they can connect. You just happen to be on a network that has to internet connection. If so, you should be able to connect using the method described for the Nano. If you do have an internet connection then you can use the standard means.
What i I don’t know is if you can make that work with only the phone and the Elemnt. It should work with the phone as hotspot and both the tablet and the Elemnt connected to the hotspot/phone WiFi network.
Hope that that made sense. I’d test it for you but I’m on my way out of town and can’t do it until later this week.
