How do I use pi-star setup AP?

Post by M1DNS »

Firstly remember on the initial first boot pistar will want to expand the sdcard in ur pi to maximize on the amount of storage space on the card.
You won't have access to anything whilst that is happening.
Not until you see Pistar setup AP as a local WiFi access point will you be able to continue as below...

Using you pc, laptop, phone, or tablet.
Scan for WiFi networks.
Connect to pistar setup AP
Password is raspberry.
Open a browser on the controlling device
Enter 192.168.50.1 in its address bar.
You should get the pistar dashboard back.
Scroll down the page to WiFi setup.
When there click Scan local networks
And select your WiFi connection.
Enter the WPA passcode for ur intended WiFi connection
Click save and connect, apply changes and when it returns, click the power link top right of screen. Click the green reboot icon.
Wait for the pi to reboot, when it has
The install should connect to ur configured network.

Remember to change the settings on ur pc, laptop, phone, tablet etc to connect back to ur shared network where you should then be able to setup everything else using http://pistar to connect between both devices.
