...as indicated just above, got the Jumbospot connected, but may I please ask, again, about by connection stats: Bitrate : 57.7 MBit/s Signal Level : -70 dBm (range -74 to -70 dBm) Transmit Power : 31 dBm Link Quality : 40/70 (ranging from 36 to 43 out of 70, meaning just 50+%) Are these numbers nor...

Update: While waiting for a cable to do a hard connect to my router, I decided to give it one more try with another wall wart - and it worked. The router recognized the JumboSpot. Strange, because it only had 1.0 A, while another wall wart had higher amperages. Lesson: make sure you have a good wall...

Got it. Thanks.

Toshen: Thanks - that is very good info to know. I will copy config file again to boot: in my next attempt. ----- KG4IES: "in my case the cell phone charger power supply just did not make enough current to run the hotspot. I have a 2.5 amp supply on the way to correct this situation" This ...

Thank you - again - both. It is appreciated. N9MXQ: "wifi password has special characters, Pi-star will not connect." No special characters, just standard alphanumerics, no spaces, etc. AF6VN: "Connect to your router's admin screen(s) and find out what IP# it has distributed to what M...
