I can;t configure my WiFI - Raspberry Pi Forums

greetings,

configuring stretch mess me: first ssh wasn't enabled @ first boot , wifi doesn't want work. documentation made me believe couple of mouse clicks in desktop needed. can see network in menu list. supplied passphrase it, rebooted , ... nothing, no wifi, no nothing. next thought had 'old' way did old pi/3 , pi/2 couple of years ago , copied both /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_config , /etc/network/interfaces files old pi/3 new one:

interfaces:

code: select all

# interfaces(5) file used ifup(8) , ifdown(8)  # please note file written used dhcpcd # static ip, consult /etc/dhcpcd.conf , 'man dhcpcd.conf'  # include files /etc/network/interfaces.d: source-directory /etc/network/interfaces.d  auto lo iface lo inet loopback  auto eth0 allow-hotplug eth0 iface eth0 inet manual  auto wlan0 allow-hotplug wlan0 iface wlan0 inet manual wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf wireless-power off 

wpa_config:

code: select all

ctrl_interface=dir=/var/run/wpa_supplicant group=netdev update_config=1 country=nl  network={         ssid="<my network ssid>"         key_mgmt=none 	wep_tx_keyidx=0         wep_key0="<my network ssid passphrase>" } 

note works on jessie on oldpi/2 , pi/3 doesn't work on new pi/3 running stretch. wrong? after googling found many posts didn't make sense me; setting wifi on stretch can't difficult? , why 'official' documentation terse , outdated?

can me please?

kind regards,

jos

if network uses wep not put ".." quotation marks around wep key

code: select all

	wep_key0=<wep-hex-key>

wep not secure these days better change network security wpa/wpa2.
