I am porting my Verizon phones to AT&T. In short, I no longer have a working Verizon hotspot (jetpack). This was programmed into the Pi-Star software on my Jumbo Spot.
I added the new At&t hotspot SSID and key and it won't connect to the new AT&T phone by hot spot. Perhaps I misspelled the Password or Network name.
How can I get back into the pi-star software so I can correct the WiFi info?
Sorry, but sounds like a dumb question....

the output file you can place directly under root of your sd card that is in the raspberry pi slot. You might need an adapter to read this sd card as is small.
There should be some files on the sd card already. Might be some parts are marked as unreadable (multiple devices E: F: G: or whatever) show when the reader is accessing the sd card. Pick the one that is showing some information like regular files. Place the file there.

Re: Wifi Network change
If the Pi-Star installation is not finding ANY configured WiFi link, it will turn itself into an access point (no internet access) broadcasting an SSID that has "setup" in the name (or something just as obvious). You can connect to that access point using some other device to edit configuration settings.

Re: Wifi Network change
Thanks Dennis. I created a new file (with my new iPhone's SSID / PSK, to place into the boot section of the card. I planned to copy over current file on card. That should do it, right?AF6VN wrote: ↑Tue Sep 22, 2020 2:00 pmIf the Pi-Star installation is not finding ANY configured WiFi link, it will turn itself into an access point (no internet access) broadcasting an SSID that has "setup" in the name (or something just as obvious).

Re: Wifi Network change
it will show as "pi-star" in the list of access points on your pc or phone if it can't use the file found in root.
Connect and then "pi-star.local" in a browser to access the interface and define your wifi settings in the bottom part of the configuration screen.
