OK I have raspbery pi 3 A+ and cant for the life of me get this pi-star working.
I flash the SD card in a linux environment on zorin OS using etcher.
Now if I add the wpa_supplicant.conf to the boot section on the SD Card as stated to do, it creates a boot loop the pie just keeps displaying the first image below and rebooting time and time again never actualy loading pi-star.
If I leave out the wpa_supplicant.conf from the boot section on the SD Card then pi-star loads but I cant access it anywhere it tells me in the second image.
Can anyone help

Get a different brand/size of SD card and reimage.
Yes although I had tried 4 diferent Sandisk Ultra's the problem persisted so went over asda and bought a new SD card 32gb Kioxia Eceria (toshiba I belive) now all working great.
Yhanks for the help
