Achieve P2P transmission between HEXA

[1348686364]

We want to use a HEXA as WIFI hotspot access and the others connect to it to achieve P2P transmission between HEXAs. However, we found that HEXA as a hotspot when we chose directly connection mode only. In this mode, the hotspot HEXA cannot connect to internet, which means the other HEXAs won’t connect this hotspot.

Is there any way to let all HEXAs connect to a wifi which cannot connect to internet?

HEXA is designed to only connected WiFi with the Internet access to avoid making HEXA not able to find from the phone.

For instance, imagining that HEXA is connected to WiFi with 2-step verification, but HEXA can’t complete this verification, if we don’t let HEXA quit to hotspot mode, then the only way to make HEXA able to control is to block this 2-step verification Wi-Fi’s signal from HEXA.

However, if you do want to let HEXA connect some Wi-Fi with no internet connection which is not recommended, you can try to do following things:

1. Open Advanced developer mode for HEXA.
2. Add IP address for cloud.vincross.com in /etc/hosts on HEXA’s Linux.
3. Make a fake web server on your own HEXA. mind will try to visit http://cloud.vincross.com/status . After it connected to Wi-Fi, if the server returns alive means HEXA is able to access the internet now.
