Connecting the J-ReX to a Wi-Fi Network

Requirements:

• J-ReX
• Vehicle with OBD port
• Reset pin (or paperclip)
• A stable Wi-Fi network (2.4 GHz)
• Device with internet access

  1. Plug the OBD connector of the J-ReX into the vehicle’s OBD port.
  2. Use the reset pin or a paperclip to press and hold the reset button on the J-ReX for five seconds (you can find it on the lower right at the back of the device).
  3. On the back of the J-ReX, you will find the connector number.
  4. On your device, go to “Settings / Wi-Fi networks” and look for available Wi-Fi networks nearby.
  5. Please note: If you're using a mobile phone, first disable mobile data.
  6. Look for the J-ReX in the list of available networks. It will appear as "connector XXXXX." If it's not listed, reset the J-ReX again.
  7. Connect to the J-ReX. You may receive a message saying you're connected without internet. You can safely ignore or dismiss this message.
  8. Using the same device connected to the J-ReX, open an internet browser and enter connector.help in the URL bar.
  9. Under the section “available networks,” choose the Wi-Fi network you want to connect the J-ReX to.
  10. Enter the Wi-Fi password and click “connect.”
    Important: You will not receive a notification if the password is incorrect, so please ensure there are no spelling mistakes.
  11. A spinning circle will appear. Watch the orange and green LEDs near the Ethernet port and wait until both the orange and green lights stay on continuously.
    Note: The webpage may jump back to the “available networks” screen. This does not indicate that the J-ReX is connected. Always focus on the LEDs, they show the actual connection status.
  12. The front LEDs on the top of the J-ReX may turn blue, indicating a firmware update is in progress.
    Important: If a firmware update is running, you need to wait. The LEDs will turn green automatically once the update is complete.
  13. Once both Ethernet port LEDs stay on continuously and the front LEDs turn green, the J-ReX is successfully connected to the Wi-Fi network.
  14. Once connected, you may turn mobile data back on for your device.
