WiFi Issues with Raspberry Pi 3

AstroBox Troubleshooting
#1

Hi All,

First of all, I’m Ali from Malaysia.

I’m having a problem with my AstroBox at the moment. I couldn’t find my AstroBox in my wifi list every time I power off and on again my raspberry pi and printer. I’m using the edimax nano adapter as per suggested.

Yesterday, I’ve to format the microSD and redo all the process to get the hotspot up and running. Now same thing happened, the hotspot is gone.

Am I doing it wrong? It should be no problem if I turn off (once printing is completed) and on again (when I want to print) right?

Your kind help is highly appreciated :slight_smile:

Thanks,
ALI

The hotspot will no start when you connect the box to internet unless you uncheck the box that tells it to behave this way.

Hi Bro Daniel,

Thank you for your reply.

I see, so I should uncheck the box during the setup right? Because it’s automatically check during the setup.

Is there any for me to change the setting? Or do I’ve to start all over again?

Once again, thanks for your reply.

If you’re able to access the box, go to settings, hotspot and you’ll see it there.
