How to force AP mode when not connected to home network?

I am trying to set up the maslow in a new location. Running 1.24. It never switches to AP mode. The getting started guide suggests that it will enter AP mode if it doesn’t find your known wifi? I pushed the reset button briefly. What am I missing? It is possible that i messed up something when I switched it back and forth to ap mode before in a different place.

It should automatically default to AP mode if it can’t find the wifi network that is is expecting. The tell is the blue light, if the blue light is blinking out an IP address that means the machine is connected to a wifi network, if the blue light is off then the machine is currently in AP mode.

One thing that can go wrong is that it’s pretty easy to accidentally change the name of the AP mode wifi network so it might be called something different than you are expecting.

Thank you. It is just green and then occasionally green and red blinky. I will take it home and see what’s up. No Wi-Fi network is visible even odd names.

OK, I got it , it was set at just STA not STA>AP. No problems just user error. If anyone is looking for this setting it is available under the three bars on the top right labeled setup. dialogue 2 or 3
