Thank you and progress of sorts when I reached step 5). 1) Power off/power on and tried to see gateway and not visible 2) Power off and connected cable and still not visibile on power on 3) Power off and re-flashed SD, and on power on and still not visible with cable 4) Set up Android phone hot spot (2.4MHz), Power off and dissconnected cable and not visible when power on. 5) Power off, re-flashed and power on. Could see the Gateway. Clicked the gateway and SUCCESS as now could see a wifi option android hotspot on [IP address]/wifi-setup. Entered password and got [IP address]/connecting.
Nothing seemed then to happen. Clicked the gateway.local link…nothing. Brought up a new tab…nothing. Double checked that PC was pointing to the android hotspot which it was. Tried different browsers…nothing. Power down and power up and repeat…nothing
In the morning, re-flashed and repeated exercise and it continues to freeze on connecting. I changed the settings in windows to connect to the android from “private” to “public” and still frozen.
So the wifi on the RPi B is running on 2.4MHz and this seems to be operational. Once the broadcast is done and you connect to the gateway, you must re-flash to get that broadcast back. I can only think there is something in the house router that stops a gateway from connecting. Success on the android hotspot was limited as the full wifi connect did not go through.
I have not had time to look at the command line option
