It seems that your usb wifi stick does not work or isn't compatible.
Have you tried to connect to the AP? Did that work?
I tried to connect to the AP with my windows laptop, yes, and after a few moment, windows kicks me off and back to my normal home WiFi.
I did manage to set this as "client" and re-installed wpa_supplicant, and I can get it to work as client, it connects OK to my router at home. I will not have a router on the boat.
I don't understand about "wifi stick" .. I do not have one. Do I need to use a USB wifidongle to work as an AP + Client? I hoped it was possible to use just the onboard Pi 3 b+ wifi for both purposes. There are some linux setups than do this on a single wireless device .. do I need to buy a WiFi dongle as well to get AP+Client?
All I really need is for this device to work as an AP I guess, it will be the main hub on the boat ... I guess the "slave" devices can just be clients, I should be able to VNC into them ...
