Raspberry Pi Forums

I recently bought a RPI 3 model B. After a successful installation of the Raspbian, I tried to connect to my own WiFi. Unfortunately, I couldn't. After clicking on the SSID of my network, there popped up a small box where I could put in my network password. So, did I, but after clicking on OK, nothing happens; only the small box disappears. I tried to Google for a solution but I couldn't find anything working and it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

It would be best to use WPA/WPA2 encryption instead of WEP even if it means buying a new router. WEP is so insecure now it is like having no security at all.

The GUI WIFI config tool does not work with WEP. Instead you will have to manually edit the wpa_supplicant file.
Somewhere here there is info on WEP config: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentati ... ess-cli.md

Or Google to find a RECENT tutorial based on Jessie or Stretch. Ignore any tutorial that mentions editing the interfaces file.

I tried the WEP config but it didn't work. Next, I did change the WEP encryption of my router to WPA/WPA2 and then I could connect to my own wifi. Thank you for your answer and solution.
