Additional information
GX1 broadcasts its own Wi-Fi access point and does not need to join an external network. For details on the network interfaces GX1 exposes, see Understand GX1 network interfaces and exposed services.
On the first connection to a new GX1, Commander prompts the operator to set a new Wi-Fi password. The new password must be at least 15 characters. The new password takes effect after the next GX1 reboot.
If the GX1 Wi-Fi network does not appear in the Android device's network list, confirm GX1 is powered on. See Power GX1 on and off.
