Raspberry Pi Zero W not connecting to wifi

[silkysmooth]

Hey my zero w will not connect to my wifi, I checked my .config file and i'm pretty sure nothings wrong with it. Pls note, my wifi ssid has a space in it...is there a special character I need to use?

Code: Select all

ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
country=US

network={
	ssid=“lincoln street”
	psk=“redacted”
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}

those strange quotes you have there look fishy, try "xx" instead of “xx”

You could try the underscore _ instead of a space.

You could try the underscore _ instead of a space.

Why? When the problem is the unicode quotes rather than plain ASCII quotes. The SSID still needs to be in quote marks.

I was unaware that there are different type of quotes available, as there is only 1 key for them on any keyboard I have ever used.
Just thought the space might be a problem considering as an underscore is used in place of a space in so many other places.
Still learning at this all myself.

Try

Code: Select all

cat /sys/firmware/devicetree/base/model

There have been Zeros shipped as Zero W.
Just a thought.
