Hi,
I have set up my wifi to my phone network (4G) and I am trying to connect to the gopigo with Raspberry Pi 3. I am not able to connect to the dex.local site from my laptop on same wifi network I keep getting the error DSN not found.
May someone helps me
Thank for the help.

What OS did you put on your SDcard?
What color LEDs, and solid or flashing, do you see?
Try from a browser (safari, chrome, Firefox, opera…) 10.10.10.10?

I used the Raspbian OS
I see the green Led in GopiGo

So the current Dexter Industries “Raspbian For Robots”?

If yes, that is what I use also. (Although I am not using a phone as the router, I use country US, I disable IPv6, and I use a Mac.)

Maybe all you need is to figure out what the IP of the GoPiGo3 is, by running:

arp -a

in a command window. Then put that IP into your browser.

Here are the steps I use to set up my WiFi for GoPiGo3 with Raspbian For Robots:

GoPiGo3 Setup

*** Download Raspian For Robots
  https://sourceforge.net/projects/dexterindustriesraspbianflavor/files/latest/download

*** Flash SD card with Etcher
  Select the Raspian For Robots zip file
  Select the 16GB SD Card
  Flash

=== Mount the card to allow headless configuration
- Pull card out, then reinsert for next steps

=== Enable SSH
- create file called "ssh" (or ssh.txt) in the Boot partition

=== Setup WiFi Headless

- create the file wpa_supplicant.conf  
   (quote chars must be straight up/down, traditional, not slanted/matched Unicode chars

country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
    ssid="YOUR_SSID"           
    psk="YOUR_WIFI_PWD"
    key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

=== disable ipv6

Browse the disk (boot)
Rt Click on System Volume Information->Open Terminal Here
cd ..

cp /boot/cmdline.txt /boot/cmdline.txt.bak
nano cmdline.txt
add to end of line/file:
ipv6.disable=1
save, exit editor

- eject disk

==== Raspbian First Boot 
-insert micro SD card
-power on

- on Mac (or your laptop) command window:  arp -a            to find IP given to RPi

ssh pi@xx.xx.xx.xxx
