How to set both MECHA and

smartphone to have Internet

access

In this chapter, we will explain how to do that and, also, how to enable
updates, and how to use your device for usual Internet browsing, at the
same �me.

First, set up a hot-spot on your device and name it

MECHA-PHONE

. Please

refer to your device documenta�on about how to set up a hot-spot.

Suppose the hot-spot is disabled for the moment.

That hot-spot gives 192.168.43.xxx address to its clients.

1. Start paired MECHAs, MECHA-H first.

2. Connect to MECHA-H /config with your device, then set it in STA mode,

choosing the STA op�on from the Default Mode select list.

Scroll to STA Mode and enter the following values:

◦

Sta�c IP: 192.168.43.101

◦

Subnet: 255.255.255.0

◦

Gateway: 192.168.43.1

◦

DNS: 8.8.8.8

3. Scroll to the bo�om of the page and tap on

[Apply]

bu�on.

4. Switch to config of MECHA-V (at the bo�om of the page).
