Pi-star only sees wifi but not computer

Post by ki7fcg »

My zumspot-rpi nextion 3.5 shows up on my computer wifi list but my computer can't connect to it. Can't get the ip address even using an ip address finder. pi-star.local/ does not work either. Just says cant find web address. Also, when pi-star is connected it disconnects the computer so I have to use ethernet. No instruction told me about that. Looked all over Youtube and Google but no joy. I also got this message:

This site can’t be reached 192.168.50.98 refused to connect.

Maybe that is the ip address but not sure. why this message? HELP!

Thanks.

Connect your computer to the pistar-setup SSID, when asked for the password it is "raspberry", it may not ask you for a password. Open your web browser and type in 192.168.50.1, that should get you connected to you pi-star so you can configure it to your use.
