problem during the installation

Hi,
i have a problem with the MR3020 and piratebox.
i found the mr3020 on 169.254.7.74 and i can ping it.
i can see the ssid "PirateBox Share Freely" but i can't use piratebox

someone can help me ? what did I do wrong ?
thanks

Might be your problem areas. Looks like its not initializing the thumb drive. Someone with more experience with the MR3020 might chime in. Lack of power to the hub maybe?

Yes, the USB stick is not recognized anymore.
This is the reason why you don't get a proper IP adress by your device. 169.xxx is an APIPA address, which windows gives away if no DHCP server is available.
