WIFI IP address appears only with wired connection

[jkorten]

Start with a fresh image of moOde r4.4 on an (u)SD card.

-do not add a moodecfg.txt file to /boot.
-do insert the card into an RPi with either internal or known-to-work-with-RPi external WiFi adapter and *no* ethernet connection.
-do boot moOde.
-do not: make ethernet connection, ssh into moOde, and run 'apt-get update'
-do not: make ethernet connection, ssh into moOde, and run 'raspi-config'
-do disconnect your phone from your existing WiFi Access point and connect it with the Access Point SSID=Moode, pwd=moodeaudio
-do now open http://172.24.1.1 in your browser on your phone.
- et voilà

I have three Android devices with various Android versions, one Apple iPod with current iOS version, and a Linux laptop with recent Linux MintOS. None has any trouble connecting to moOde following this scheme..

Thanks Kent,

Before reading your post, I did almost all you said - but booted the first time with ethernet cable connected. The big trick was to run raspi-config and change locale (which I knew to do) BUT and here is the big butt - when you select a new country (US in my case) the default country remains selected. I failed to notice that it just picked the first checkmark found and reconfigured for Great Britain. YOU MUST DESELECT ALL OTHER COUNTRIES!!! I also selected wifi channel 10 (My SSID is broadcasting around that range). Then I was able to do a DHCP and at least use my own router. Haven't tried the AP setting yet because I don't want to tempt the fates.

But I'll let you know when I do.

Thanks again.
