astroberry wifi not working

out of the box, Wi Fi connection is not yet set up( for internet access), and WiFi HotSpot is set at priority -999, which is lower than 0 ( default priority)

Please note that the wireless port can be set either as Wi Fi HotSpot mode, or Wi Fi client mode ( to connect to your local Wi Fi network), but NOT both at the same time. 

assuming your home network is set as 192.168.1.### segment.

In this way, astroberry is set as HotSpot mode, you will find that you cannot connect to internet !!!

On astroberry.io, Quick Start suggest using wireless connection to connect to internet,

but I suggest using wired connection.

Simple solution:

1. connect wired ethernet from router to astroberry. Internet access is via this ethernet connection.

2. connect to astroberry via HotSpot.

3. once logged in, update the apps if necessary.

In addition, you may do this

4. check  ip address  of astroberry from router

5 use putty to SSH, and login

login as astroberry. 

6 or use VNC viewer to connect

7 you may ifconfig to check wired and wireless connections
