Unable to connect to wifi

[Harvmck]

Hey, I have soldered the raspberry pi to helders Custom board and set up the screen. I have put the image onto the sd card. However I cannot get the wifi to work. Whenever I try to connect it comes up saying "unable to connect to network" I have tried on several different hubs and hotspots and it still wont work. I have managed to get games onto it through a USB stick but it would be nice to get the wifi working. Any suggestions or advice would be much appreciated. Thankyou!

What kind of encryption settings is your wifi using?

I found the .conf file on the image never worked. I deleted it, recreated it and viola.

Im WPA2 with AES just fyi.

Weird, it works for me. I'll give it a whirl from a Windows machine and see if I get the same behavior (maybe a permissions issue or something) - that's the only difference I can think that might cause that.

It had deleted the file itself but left a corrupt shortcut to it. Odd! Haven't imaged wnother yet to see if it was a random one off.

What kind of encryption settings is your wifi using?

WPA/WPA personal. I have also found out that I can't update or download any new or existing emulators. Not sure if this ties in with the wifi issue?

If you're note online i wouldn't expect you to be able to? Or do you mean via USB otg?

Remove the SD card and check status of your .conf file if possible?

I'm a bit of a noob however I cannot find a .conf file on my SD card. There's a config.txt file?

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 times neither of them worked
