Power up AI7688H board 

 

 

After boot up and Wi-Fi initialization completes, which takes about 
30 seconds, the Wi-Fi LED goes off.   

This means the system is ready to accept Wi-Fi connection – now 
we can connect to it. Following Figure shows how the Wi-Fi LED 
status matches the system state.
