Hi kamisan,
thanks for fast answer. But it still NOT work here.
This is what I tried today (when I read your anser):
- Write astroberry-image to sd-card
- put sd-card into raspberry pi 3+ B+
- connect hdmi-monitor and usb-keyboard to raspberry
- boot raspberry
- Now I can FIND WLAN-network with ssid astroberry with other devices (smartphone, windows-laptop)
- I start MATE TERMINAl at raspberry
- then I use sudo nano /etc/hostapd/hostapd_3bplus.conf to change ONLY this file
- I this file I change ssid=astroberrytest, hw_mode=g, channel=6, wpa_passphrase=test
- I save file in nano with ctrl-o and exit with ctrl-x
- Then is reboot with sudo reboot
- After reboot my other devices (smartphone, wndows-laptop) do NOT FIND ANYMORE a WLAN with SSID = astroberrytest or atsroberry (only my home-WLAN and WLANs from neighbors)

Where is my mistake ???????????????
Can somebody help me PLEASE, whow to change SSID and password from astroberry-VAP ???
Thanks and best regards

Hallo kamisan,
sorry, I do not understand your information well:
>> I decided to make just the essential changes to the three lines in vappasswd and vaprename from "/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" to "/etc/hostapd/hostapd_3b.conf" It works perfectly!
Whow did you make it ????

All time I try to modify the password of Virtual Access Point of AstroBerry I can NOT find its network anymore....
I see that sudo vappasswd and sudo vaprename change the files "/etc/hostapd/hostapd.conf" and "/etc/hostapd/hostapd_3bplus.conf" and "/etc/hostapd/hostapd_3b.conf"
But after sudo reboot the VAP seems not work anymore. I can not find the WLAN at mobile-phone...
Same happens, when I try to change these file manually ba sudo nano <filename> at line ssid=xxxxxx and wpa_passphrase=xxxxxx
Does not matter, if I change hw_mode to g and channel to 6 or not ....

I do not find out where I make mistake(s).
Perhaps you can explain step by step what you did to change passwort (anns ssid) of VAP succesfully.
Thanks
Mats
