STICKY: WiFi Dongle Issues ? Start here !

[dchao99]

RPi3: On top of the problem with channel 12/13 (country = gb), it doesn't work on channel 11 (country = us)

It should do. What does "iwlist freq" say?

It works on channel 6.
Power management off. Latest firmware 4.1.19-v7+.

Code: Select all

$ iwlist wlan0 frequency
wlan0     11 channels in total; available frequencies :
          Channel 01 : 2.412 GHz
          Channel 02 : 2.417 GHz
          Channel 03 : 2.422 GHz
          Channel 04 : 2.427 GHz
          Channel 05 : 2.432 GHz

I have some issue with my Raspberry Pi 3 Model B WiFi adapter...
Using aircrack-ng:

Please make sure the wlan power management is off and you have the latest firmware 4.1.19-v7+.
Even after that, I still can not get the onboard wifi to connect reliably using channel 11 ( very large ping delays). And if I am in the next room, the connection drops completely (whereas all other computers in that room are still working).
IMO, the Broadcom driver is still too buggy. The Tx power is too much for the little Pi? The developers need to fix it.

Code: Select all

$ iwconfig

[jokreg]

My firmware seems to be 4.1.20.-v7+ :

Code: Select all

root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.20-v7+ #867 SMP Wed Mar 23 20:12:32 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

And I turned power managment off:

Code: Select all

          Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   Tx-Power=1496 dBm

          Encryption key:off
          Power Management:off

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

So do we have to just wait for a patch or future updates?

Hi,

I have a RPi1 512, this is the first time I have installed Raspbian from Noobs. I have the WIFI issue, difficult to connect and loss of packet
ie: 14 packets transmitted, 8 received, 42% packet loss, time 13008ms
I tried for more than 8 hours to find out what is this issue: Not a good experience for the first use of Raspbian!!

Code: Select all

uname -a
Linux raspberrypi 4.1.19+ #858 Tue Mar 15 15:52:03 GMT 2016 armv6l GNU/Linux

updated, upgrated

I'd like to try the Power Managment trick but I get

Code: Select all

 iwconfig wlan0 power off
Error for wireless request "Set Power Management" (8B2C) :
    SET failed on device wlan0 ; Operation not permitted.

What should I do to fix that?
Thanks

What is your wifi adapter? Post the output of command lsusb.

This sort of thing can happen possibly depending on the access to your AP. Can be fixed by moving your Pi. Interference from other wifi devices, mobile phone for example, can cause this sort of problem as well.

To disable power management create file /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf for example using command

Code: Select all

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/8192cu.conf

and add the single line

Code: Select all

options 8192cu rtw_power_mgnt=0 rtw_enusbss=0

Terminate the editor with keys cntl-x, y, enter. Reboot to make it active.

It was fine until I updated rasbian via wifi now it says no wireless interfaces available so i cant connect to new networks and when i edit the file it doesn't work either is there a specific way to put in multiple networks in the wpa suplicants file.

[zipner]

I am a newbie and am trying to set up a printer server with my new Raspberry Pi 3. I want to use the built in wifi. I have tried both the graphical interface and line command to connect it to my wifi network. Every time it has completely locked the Pi up. I have tried to reboot it via SSH with no luck. When I go to restart it often fails to boot and I have to completely reinstall the OS. I believe there is a a Kernel panic, it get either just stops or get caught in a loop and will not finish rebooting. I have managed to get this to work without this problem. I just can't see what the difference is.

A WiFi USB dongle needs a lot of power when transmitting, specially when the Receiving signal is weak. A lot of WiFi issues are related to power supply.
What sort of power supply and USB cable are you using? Cheap PSU and USB cables can not deliver power to the device reliably without introducing noise on the power line, voltage drop..... Try using use a solid USB cable, as short as possible.

[MrNice]

I don't think at all it is an hardware issue; WiFi works fine with Openelec/Kodi, PSU is 2A (TP1-TP2=5.1V with dongle blinking), RPi is at 1meter from AP, RPi is headless nothing connected to RPi, only Ethernet for setup.
I tried with another same brand/ref dongle, same issue.
I'll start over from scratch. If this is the same I'll give up.

[MrNice]

Just to add how I am not happy with Raspbian:
I did a reinstall from scratch of Raspbian lite, just what I wanted to test LIRC.
Headless, easy to install.
Now I test ping from WiFi

So I'll reinstall Openelec/Kodi on this RPi1 512 and try again with the same hardware.
BTW, is there another lite OS (working) for RPi1 512 I could install, easy to use headless with LIRC? I can find only for RPi2.

As I said, no ping loss, snappy...
I'll try to test LIRC with it.
Thank you all of you who helped me, I go away from Raspbian. Maybe I'll be back for the next stable version...

Set a static IP for wlan0 on my new RPi 3, it renders to wi-fi adapter inoperable. The system does not see the wifi card. I have reinstalled Raspbian twice and got to the same bug.

Tried kernel:
Linux rpi3 4.1.19-v7+ #858 SMP Tue Mar 15 15:56:00 GMT 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

and:

Linux rpi3 4.1.21-v7+ #872 SMP Wed Apr 6 17:34:14 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux

I just got a PRi3 and installed Raspbian via NOOBS.

Like many others I cannot connect to my Wifi... I did update/upgrade via ethernet cable but still not working.
I see the little "double computer" icon on the top right and I see my SSID listed. I click on it, enter the password but nothing happens.

It is very disappointing, especially given that built-in WiFi is one of the "hot" new features...

try debugging it with

dmesg | grep brcm

That simply means you've entered an incorrect password.

[demosa]

Hm incorrect password !
I actually found a nearby open network and the RPi3 can connect to it just fine.
So you've got me there! ... I enter the password (this is a WEP key) in hex, for example: b652ff8af1
And yes, I've double and triple checked that is the correct password that I use on my phone for example... is that not the expected format ?

thanks

[demosa]

I found out what the problem is !!

I actually entered the password correctly but it is saved in wpa_suplicant.conf incorrectly, in the sense that it shows up there surrounded by double quotes. So I enter b652ff8af1 but in the file it shows up as
wep_key0="b652ff8af1"

After removing the double quotes, it works just fine !!

Howdy folks.

Raspberry Pi 3, running NOOBs 1.9.0 with Adafruit 3.5" PiTFT Easy Install Kernal.

The wifi was working fine. I unplugged the machine, plugged it back in across town. "No Wifi Interface Detected."

Before the "hold shift for recovery" screen, I see this:

[ 1.089810] brcmfmac: brcmf_chip_recognition: SB chip is not supported
[ 1.089889] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_probe_attach: brcmf_chip_attach failed!
[ 1.089950] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_probe: brcmf_sdio_probe_attach failed
[ 1.090165] brcmfmac: brcmf_ops_sdio_probe: F2 error, probe failed -19...
/init: line 27: can't create /sys/class/leds/led0/trigger: nonexistent directory.

While the adafruit kernal boots I get this additional error message:

[FAILED] Failed to start configure Bluetooth M...d by UART. See 'systemctl status hciuart.service for details.

I plugged in a random ralink wireless adaptor and I can get wireless just fine through that. Still, I can't find any other posts with users whose built in wireless chips just stopped working this way. I've flashed the operating system over and over again, used apt-get update and rpi-update, no change whatsover.

Any advice?

Thank you!

Hi,
I just got a pi3, and i want to connect to my school wifi (WPA2 enterprise).

But i dont know how to do it. I watched around, it seems like i need to edit wpa_supplicant.conf file ? Can some one give me a hint what should i do?

So far I can connect to open network, but when i click on the my school network, nothing happens.
