Automatic Access Point Mode

The Access Point Autostart Mode lets all newcomers to Max2Play wirelessly connect to their Pi’s, directly after the first boot. Previous options to connect to your local network meant either to manually connect an ethernet cable or to use the WPS feature which will still run on every Max2Play Raspberry Pi combination and will remain another option. However, if you do not have WPS-supported router, do not want to use WPS or a cabled connection and still get started right away, the Access Point Autostart Mode is your solution.

Quick Info:

Automatically establishes Access Point after first boot, when no other connection is established

Network „Max2Play“ is accessible by all devices nearby

Connected devices can immediately access the Max2Play web interface

Works out-of-the-box with Raspberry Pi 3 and Raspberry Pi Zero Wireless

Perfect for all mobile solutions of Max2Play

Alternative to WPS and ethernet for first setup

Important: The Access Point Autostart Mode requires a WiFi module that’s based on the same chip as the Pi 3 and Zero W. Using this feature with any other Raspberry Pi necessitates such a WiFi dongle to be connected when booting.
