I just tried to install the max2play stretch beta on my pi zeroW.
After 15 minutes there is still no max2play wireless network showing up.
I can connect with an ethernet adaptor / cable plugged in to my mac and share my internet connection that way but I don’t see any info in this thread which says that the auto wifi max2play network doesn’t work.
To make sure that the pi is behaving and that the wifi is within reach I burned an sd-card with the standard max2play image and that started up a max2play wifi network within 5 minutes.
