To connect the J-ReX to a different network or hotspot, please follow these steps:
Requirements:
- J-ReX
- Vehicle with OBD port
- Reset pin or paperclip
- Device with internet connection
- Connect the OBD plug of the J-ReX to the vehicle’s OBD port and wait until the LEDs on the side of the Ethernet port light up.
- Using the reset pin or paperclip, press the reset button on the J-ReX for three to five seconds (located at the lower right on the back of the J-ReX).
- On your device, go to Settings → Wi-Fi networks and look for the J-ReX in the available networks. It will appear as connector XXXXX.
- If the connector number appears in the available networks list, follow Option 1 to connect the J-ReX to a Wi-Fi network or Option 2 to connect it via a hotspot.
- If the connector number does not appear, reset the J-ReX again and check if it becomes visible.
- If the orange LED on the side of the J-ReX does not light up, unplug the OBD connector, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If this does not work, perform a hard reset (see below).
Hard reset
- Connect the OBD plug of the J-ReX to the vehicle’s OBD port and wait until the LEDs on the side of the Ethernet port light up.
- Press and hold the reset button with a reset pin or paperclip for 60 seconds. The side LEDs will turn off during the reset.
- Let the J-ReX “rest” for 5–10 minutes. The J-ReX will reset itself to factory settings (reset button is located at the lower right on the back).
- On your device, go to Settings → Wi-Fi networks and look for the J-ReX, shown as connector XXXXX.
- If the connector number appears, follow Option 1 to connect to a Wi-Fi network or Option 2 to connect via a hotspot.
Please note: After the hard reset, the front LEDs on the top of the J-ReX may turn blue and beep while updating. Once the top LEDs turn green again, the J-ReX is ready for use!
