Same here, can not connect to local wifi. openSpot2 worked but openSpot3 can not
log into local wifi/router!

I had that problem. Resetting the wifi (hold wifi button for 3 seconds) did not work. The OpenSpot would not respond to the web interface after a failed attempt. I had to do a full reset. Hold the wifi button for 30 seconds, then start over.

You might want to post in the troubleshooting section.... I also had to reset multiple times before I got a somewhat stable connection.

Holding the Wi-Fi button for 3 seconds does not reset the Wi-Fi, it just switches between AP mode and normal (client) operation mode. You can find some Wi-Fi troubleshooting tips in the user manual at http://manuals.sharkrf.com/openspot3/en/troubleshooting.html Agreed, but my point was that after a failed attempt to connect with my home wifi then switching back to the AP mode only resulted in the light saying I was connected, but the web interface would not respond. Your answer does not address this.

What status LED color do you see on the OS3 now?

White an on a completely different computer.
It will load on to computer showing a comport
but nothing else. Can not locate a file.

If the LED is white, then the openSPOT3 is broadcasting it's own Wi-Fi network called "openSPOT3 AP", indicated by white LED.

What you need to do is to connect to this network using your browser device (phone/tablet/computer). Make sure you place your phone/tablet/computer close to the openSPOT3 during this time. The initialization setup will pop up, where you can select the country of operation and configure a Wi-Fi network for the openSPOT3 to connect to.

Make sure you've entered the Wi-Fi password case sensitive.

After you've chosen the Wi-Fi network and entered the password, the openSPOT3 stops broadcasting it's own Wi-Fi network and starts connecting to the selected network. At that moment, your browser device (phone/tablet/computer) will disconnect from the openSPOT3's network. What you have to do now is to connect to the exact same Wi-Fi network with your browser device as you've configured for the openSPOT3, and then use sharkrf.link to open the web interface.
