Re: Unable to connect to wifi

Re: Help me

As said by dryja123, *please* go back and re-do your soldering. You shouldn't have any wire exposed outside of the small blob of solder. Strip a tiny bit, twist/tin it, and bury it in a small dab of solder on the pad. It's likely you just have a short somewhere because of all that extra exposed wir...

Re: Unable to connect to wifi

Having looked you are correct. My recreated one had also moved and WiFi was working. 👍🏼 Harvmck any joy yet? Haven't seen many WiFi issues here yet so perhaps, as Wermy mentioned earlier an encryption issue etc? Could be worth changing your encryption and retesting. I've seen WiFi behave inexplicab...

Re: Unable to connect to wifi

As per the guide it's in the 'boot' folder on the root. Look for the wpa_supplicant.conf file and edit it with a text editor to add SSID and password. Then reboot and test WiFi. Should auto connect. I did that before I put it in my raspberry Pi and it did not work. I have since then tried 3 more ti...
