Hello there!
I am tinkering around with my new Meteobridge (Weatherbridge), and am attempting to use a mobile hotspot as a LAN source to the MB with a Wifi Extender as the middle-man, with marginal results. I set up the Wifi Extender SSID/password to receive its WLAN from the mobile hotspot (Skyroam Solis 1). The GW1000 connects/reports to Ecowitt.net easily using the mobile hotspot (Skyroam Solis 1), and reports to Ecowitt.net.
I'm a bit perplexed with the behavior of the Meteobridge when connected to the mobile hotspot.
With Meteobridge connected to the mobile hotspot via the Wifi Extender, I'm able to talk/configure the Meteobridge through the magicip.meteobridge.com link, and then through the remote URL. Despite a valid internet connection, the Weatherbridge receives no raw sensor data, and does not transmit anything to my configured weather network (Ambientweather.net). (Though at the same time the GW1000 is still sending to Ecowitt.net just fine).
My plan was to use the 3G-connected Weatherbridge to upload to CWOP and other services. For now I'm back connected to my home's Wifi router, and the Weatherbridge is receiving raw sensor data just fine again.
I'm not a networking guru, but there has to be something I'm missing here. If anyone has any tips/tricks, I would be appreciative. Likewise, if anyone has knowledge that would indicate my plans to use a mobile hotspot, wifi extender, and Meteobridge in this configuration are futile, it would save me a lot of time!
Thanks in advance!
