I'm able to connect Bluetrain to the LCS wifi module by setting the wifi module to Access Point Mode (making it a hotspot) and setting my phone's wifi to the LCS network. That works fine--but it's inconvenient.
In order to connect Bluetrain to your home network, I suspect you either have to configure something like DHCP to automatically assign it an IP address from the router, or configure a fixed address. You obviously would NOT use an IP address on the router that is already connecting to the WiFi module, that one is in use!
When you connect to the router directly with all the devices, it's a star arrangement, and the router is in the center of the star. Each connection around the router has a unique IP address, you never share them.
I guess my router is using DHCP or equivalent to assign IP addresses. I can observe the process when I connect LSU or Wifi Monitor LE on my PC, and I assume something similar happens when I connect the iPad app or iCAB on my iPad. Any idea how I would get that to happen when I open Bluetrain on my Android phone (in addition to setting the phone's wifi to my home network)? Or perhaps is the phone or Bluetrain lacking that functionality, and, if not, would need a fixed address in order to connect to my home network?
