Hi,
I am running tutorials and trying to program my robot at the same time - I keep having to switch my WiFi from my ISP network to the robot and back again. I could use my phone to stream the tutorials but does anyone know a way to connect to both the robot and the internet from a laptop? I'm guessing you might need some third party network adapter.
Robot: JD Humanoid
OS: Windows 10 Home
Thanks
Phil

A router at your work, unless you own that router and you control it's settings you can't control the IP address it hands out. Routers will do that, it's called DHCP which is the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol which is a network management protocol used on TCP/IP network so a DHCP server can dynamically assigns an IP address and other network configuration parameters unless static configured otherwise on either the device or router.
For adhoc with the USB dongle and Wi-Fi that is a direct connect per EZB, so I guess you'd either want a USB hub with a bunch of W-Fi dongles so you can direct connect to multiple EZbs from your laptop and still maintain your network internet and never worry about your work's wifi or your work's IP address's changing.
Or like you said you could get your own Router to take to work or embed in your robot to create your own Wi-Fi hot spot. You'd could be connect to your work's wifi from your laptop's wifi adapator and use the USB wifi dongle to connect to your wifi router and have the ezbs setup with static IP ports you have configured on your own router like the directions in the link SteveG provided.
I believe it can also be used just like a WiFi dongle too. Has many different modes but has been a while since I used it so I don't recall all the features.

You can often find it for <$25.
Range is obviously not great, but will work fine if you are in the same room as the robot(s).

Just Joined the community and also purchased a JD Humanoid, but the tutorial doesn't match the battery that was shipped with the JD humanoid. I have connected the chest/battery to the charger and one light stays green and the other red (4 pin charge outlet). I charged over 3 hours and when I power on, no lights occur and connect to router is present.
did you see this tutorial?
batterie not charging
I am not sure this belongs in this thread. You may want to start a new one.
It sounds like the battery is charged based on your description. Is it new or second hand. Take the cover off JD and make sure he is connected internally to the battery. Did you check the fuse? If you have a multimeter you can also check the battery for power.
