I want to run Max2Play on a RP Zero W but I can’t connect to it. The Wlan adapter isn’t activated. When I run Rasbian, it works flawless so the board is OK.
On first start up, the hotspot isn’t activated and even with an micro USB to ethernet adapter I have no connection. What do I wrong?
I tested this with an RP Zero non W and worked fine. Even when I create an wpa_supplicant.conf file in the boot directory I have no Wlan.
Can some one help me?

Hi MatthijsW,

The best thing to do is to set up your Pi Zero W with our Access Point. When you start the Pi for the first time with a fresh Max2Play image, the access point should be reachable after a few minutes of waiting. Then you can simply connect to the Pi’s WiFi using a smartphone. You can then access the Max2Play web interface via the browser of your smartphone and set up the WiFi connection.

Edit: There may be problems with our buster image. So please try our stretch image too.
