Previous options to connect to your local network meant\u00a0either to manually connect an ethernet cable or to use the WPS feature which will still run on every Max2Play Raspberry Pi combination and will remain another option.\u00a0However, if you do not have WPS-supported router, do not want to use WPS or a cabled connection and still get started right away, the Access Point Autostart Mode is your solution.<\/p>\n<p>Quick Info:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Automatically establishes\u00a0Access Point after first boot, when no other connection is established<\/li>\n<li>Network &#8222;Max2Play&#8220; is accessible by all devices nearby<\/li>\n<li>Connected devices can immediately access the Max2Play web interface<\/li>\n<li>Works out-of-the-box with Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless<\/li>\n<li>Perfect for all mobile solutions of Max2Play<\/li>\n<li>Alternative to WPS and ethernet for first setup<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Important: The Access Point Autostart Mode requires a WiFi module that&#8217;s based on the same chip as the Pi 3 and Zero W. Using this feature with any other Raspberry Pi necessitates such a WiFi dongle to be connected when\u00a0booting.<\/strong><\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [\/spb_column] [spb_column width=&#8220;1\/4&#8243; el_position=&#8220;last&#8220;] [spb_single_image image=&#8220;30245&#8243; image_size=&#8220;full&#8220; frame=&#8220;noframe&#8220; intro_animation=&#8220;none&#8220; full_width=&#8220;no&#8220; lightbox=&#8220;yes&#8220; link_target=&#8220;_self&#8220; width=&#8220;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8220;first last&#8220;] [\/spb_column] [spb_column width=&#8220;1\/4&#8243; el_position=&#8220;first&#8220;] [spb_single_image image=&#8220;30343&#8243; image_size=&#8220;full&#8220; frame=&#8220;noframe&#8220; intro_animation=&#8220;none&#8220; full_width=&#8220;no&#8220; lightbox=&#8220;yes&#8220; link_target=&#8220;_self&#8220; width=&#8220;1\/1&#8243; el_position=&#8220;first last&#8220;] [\/spb_column] [spb_text_block title=&#8220;HowTo: Access Point-Mode&#8220; pb_margin_bottom=&#8220;no&#8220; pb_border_bottom=&#8220;no&#8220; width=&#8220;3\/4&#8243; el_position=&#8220;last&#8220;]\n<div class=\"sf-icon-box sf-icon-box-left-icon sf-animation sf-icon-standard\" data-animation=\"none\" data-delay=\"200\"><div class=\"sf-icon-cont cont-small sf-icon-float-none sf-icon-standard\"><span class=\"sf-icon-character sf-icon sf-icon-small\">1<\/span><\/div><div class=\"sf-icon-box-content-wrap clearfix\"><h3><\/h3><div class=\"sf-icon-box-content\">Connect the\u00a0Pi with a new Max2Play Image to your active power supply.
