Edit wpa_supplicant.conf from windows computer

[DmitryR]

Is there a way to add a pair of lines to /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf from a laptop with Windows OS?

The reason is I don't have any HDMI monitor or USB keyboard/mouse, but I want to setup Wi-Fi connection (I have Wi-Fi module and it works, I need to specify Wi-Fi ssid and password).

This might help. It reaches the same conclusion in a different way.

(Editting files in the root filesystem of your SD card from a Windows machine is not possible without the installation and use of third-party software that can read/write 'linux' partitions: Windows itself does not have this ability.)

Thank you, so I need to create /boot/wpa-supplicant.conf file.
Could you give me default wpa-supplicant.conf file from Raspberry Pi debian distribution?

Code: Select all

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

network={
        ssid="yourAP"
        psk="yourpasskey"
}

This should work for WPA(2) and SSID not hidden.
Change country, ssid and psk to the actual values.

What if I am in USA, would this screw up with country=GB?

Yes.
