Talking about FUD... I suppose you don't have much experience with commercial solutions? In most cases it just works (TM).

"anyone who tried to install open solutions as opposed to commercial ones learn way more." is not necessarily correct. I'd claim, that often one follows recipes without fully understanding what is going on. A deeper understanding needs a LOT of time; you are an expert (I think), don't underestimate how difficult it is for a novice/half-expert.

Hello again mgrouch!I downloaded BBN, I am having trouble setting up WiFi, changing passwords, setting up country etc. I tried going thru the advanced manager page and it is asking for a password after I enter the code to change it. What am I missing? Total newby here. Can I use one of the icons on the main page or do I need to go to utilities? Thank you!!

Hello mgrouch! I had to reformat the sd card I’m using to erase it, would this cause an issue with the setup of the WiFi, setting time and country? Thank you

It would not. Here is how to prepare SD card

https://bareboat-necessities.github....repare_sd_card

During first boot it will expand SD card partition
to the size of SD card automatically.

Great! I did all that! I will reread the setup docs! Thank you!!
