Thanks :)

You're right, I've changed that to "e.g.".

We agreed on not allowing the "_" as the ID is also used for the mDNS hostname.

I've changed that to "Please enter a Wifi network that provides access to the internet".

Right, I changed the text to "… then tries to contact the OpenVehicles server to check the internet access".

Done.

No, it will return to the form, so you can choose another server or skip the step as necessary.

I've extended the text to:

                "<p><strong>Don't panic</strong> if something goes wrong and the module gets stuck in the update.</p>"
                "<p>You can simply unplug and restart the module, it will show the update form again so you can choose to"
                " retry, try another server or skip the update.</p>"

It does so, I just erased the field for the screenshot.

Thanks for the review!

Michael
