How to make a simple local Wifi/Bluetooth connection between a CR6 and Andriod


Michael Lily Feb 12, 2026 08:21 AM

Hello, 

Looking for a simple way to make a local wifi with a CR6, either through its USB port, or serial port with an android phone that has LoggerLink installed. Would like to use Loggerlink to connect with the CR6 from close range, no need for internet (WAN) connection, application will be mainly used in remote locations with no communications access. An NL241 seems overkill for this application. 

Thanks for any input!

Michael

There used to be a product called Airconsole 2.0 that worked. Connecting to the logger required plugging a USB to RS-232 cable into the USB port of the device. Looks like that company is in decline, because I only see the accessories for sale on their website.

Carrying an NL241 from site to site does work. It would be configured as an access point/ host the network.

Hi,

You might consider Teltonika RUT200 Industrial Router, just plugging it at ethernet port of CR6. It’s a budget industrial router. Just login your Android to the same network as CR6 and should be able to connect with LoggerLink. Router power consumption is a bit high though, short term connection won't harm.

Another option is using IOGear Serial to Bluetooth adaptor but it needs micro USD to Serial Converter Cable for CR6. Mine CR1000s, it's just plug and play.

Have a nice day
