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.

Do you mean “ you should see a line“ ?11. Januar 2016 at 23:36 #17772This 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
11. Januar 2016 at 23:43 #17775Ok 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 concern11. Januar 2016 at 23:45 #17776Shall I unplug as before and reboot, taking off everything except the dongle ?
11. Januar 2016 at 23:51 #17778Noop, yes got it it’s there!!
Sorry too hasty missed it first time round
Just like you described right ready for a reboot, this standalone box, should I tick this before reboot ?11. Januar 2016 at 23:52 #17779And there is a save button, is there an order I should do this .
11. Januar 2016 at 23:58 #17782Hi noop,
Have to say I’m not surprised it’s not working OMG, what a pain
12. Januar 2016 at 0:00 #17783Maybe 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

12. Januar 2016 at 0:14 #17789and 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
12. Januar 2016 at 0:18 #17791tell you what noop
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
