Just so you know I ordered two Pi wifi dongles the other day and hopefully they will be here soon. And strangely enough I just came accross this, look down the page and see what this guy says about the Pi dongle, maybe there’s something in it
I can’t ask for anymore of your time, you have been just fantasic, you really have and I’m very very very grateful , I have even learned something too.
Do you think it’s worth me starting from scratch
I’ll buy a new pi, dongle and download a new image over the next week
Maybe that might help.Because don’t you feel there is something not quite right going on, its all working but not, so very odd
and yes my wifi has been turned on with all the devices I have used to check the Pi dongle, I’m only saying that because thats just about the last option surely.
Its mighty odd though, even to me with my little knowledge
Maybe in the coming days I fire up my other Pi , who knows there could be some memory corruption and it only comes to light with certain commands , ie in crertain places of memory
Ok noop, it’s loaded
Because I’m extremely nervous about this next bit, I’m going to clear this with you first as it’s this AP that’s the issue.
It says I need to reboot, do I first tick standalone
And when should I see that line you mentioned after reboot as I don’t see it yet albeit it says accesspoint is live and active, but it’s said it every time I have got to this stage, hence my concern
This is a bit worrying, it started to d/l then the page just cleared, so I hit the back button and it’s now hot the red revolving circle as though it’s downloading, but it’s taking a bit of time
I’m going to stop it and see if it’s loaded in the background somehow
Noop, I’m just going to start installing the plugin’s using this we did before

Here’s something to try…using your previous recipe modified…to help debug the issue.
1. Burn a new image.
2. Expand it.
3. Update M2P.
4. Increase the USB current via the raspberry plug in (not really necessary yet)
5. Plug in the wifi dongle.
6. install wifi.
7. install access-point.
8. remove power and then remove all connections, except wifi dongle, then apply power.
Wait a few minutes for the PI to boot then test the access point functionally:
1. on your IOS device, set-up -> wifi should show an available network with SSID “max2play” (or whatever you set it to)
2. Try to connect to this network, if you get an error, “forget” the network, and re-try (you will prompted for password in this case).
3. If connected, on the IOS device use safari or chrome and browse the PI at: http://192.168.189.1/ , you should see the max2play page.
If you see the web page then access point is successfully installed.

Noop it’s telling me it’s going to take 33mins
Then I have to load the plugin’s and try what you’ve suggested.
Maybe not worth checking back for an hour or so, either way I’ll message to on the progress in an hours time
Re the image, just to let you know more than anything, I must have d/l the image 10’s of times and as you can see, it’s not made a difference, only people like you and Fred have made a change.
What’s your thoughts noop on d/l it again?
