Connect myRIO to the external Internet to communicate with (ThingSpeak) IoT platform.

[Jason_Y]

Overview:

I am working on a Solar Energy project which use HTTP POST to send data to ThingSpeak. 

I was able to send from myRIO to my PC host, then send to ThingSpeak with HTTP POST. 

Due to high energy consumption of the PC host, I would like to remove it and use myRIO to send data to ThingSpeak directly.

I have tried to connect myRIO to a router, but whenever I connect to the router, myRIO seems to create it's own private network through the router's network.

I have also tried the check internet access VI (HTTP method) found online [ https://learn-cf.ni.com/teach/riodevguide/code/rt_check-internet-access-http.html ]. It shows internet is ok, but I am suspecting it is a local internet.

Please help, thanks 😞
