#68835 Before starting out, I would like to say that I am completly 100% new to these types of things, and this is for personal legal use in my own home, not these crazy "shut down everyone's wifi type of deal".

Anyways, I bought this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/CP2102-ESP8266- ... 2749.l2649

When connecting it to a million different power options, the blue light lit up then went out. From what I was understanding, this should have it's own wifi network named "pwned" by default. You connect to that, then go to a certain IP address where you can then control wifi and whatnot.. Anyways, I don't get a wireless network named this, or any new networks for that matter. I have searched for this network with a Macbook, Iphone, And Dell laptop running Linux. Nothing on any of them.

Sorry if this is a basic noob failure. I work on vintage circuit boards, not stuff like this.
