All: I am working on updating my RasPi onboard computer.
I have RasPi 3 that is attached to a nice 10.1" touchscreen. I am using OpenPlotter 1.2 currently. I have several RasPi 4's around, but the screen I have works better with the older version. Also of note, I have plugged in a USB Wifi adapter as some note it provides a stronger signal.
I am working at home now, so I have a ethernet connection as well.
Here is my question:
I can't seem to get my RasPi to create the access point. Using the OpenPlotter Network settings, I have defined these settings:
Network Mode: RPi3: AP + client
Sharing Internet Device: wlan0 [when I select wlan1, I get an error when I click 'Apply']
Access point: openplotter [I have updated the password]
Channel: 6
So I click apply and it tells me to reboot, so I do.
After the reboot, I have an Internet connection through Ethernet. However, when I use my phone to try to sign into the AP wifi, it doesn't appear.
As another point of information, I have successfully 'logged-in' to the RasPi through VNC, but that's through my home network (192.168.xxx) not wifi.
Anyway, I am sure many of you can see where I have gone wrong...
Many thanks.
