Can I ask a stupid question. I am not familiar with Access Point mode. ( not clear in my reading of the setup intructions for beginners)
My understanding: If you want to control the Rasberry Pi with your phone, without wifi access you can use Access point mode. I have only mangaed to get it in this mode once. I am still trying.
Could be a bad image /install. My SD card failed.
What I am not 100% on , I assume if my phone is connected to the Rasberry in AP mode . The rasberry will only play music it stores on a storage (usb) connected to it. It wont be able to access the internet via the phone - so radio stations wont work. Is this correct?
In AP mode, the phone connects directly with the Rasberry, not via a router and and my office/home/local wifi signal?
The reason it stores the password as a PK code is to protect it form hacking? Is this correct? I still put in the password in as normal when needed. ( Not the PK encripted password)
This would be helpful if it is included in setup instructions for beginners. I would assume most people would start with this basic setup. Rasberry,phone, and USB storage.
