WiFi not working

Sun Sep 25, 2016 6:15 pm

Hi,

Just ordered another Pi 3 box. I did the same as the first one. Configuring the wpa_supplicant.conf for WiFi connection. Restarted the box and it is showing "wlan0: not associated". The wpa_supplicant.conf file has these lines in it.
country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid=¨My_SSID¨
psk=¨SSID_Password¨
}
How to find out if the wireless adapter is working or damaged?
I had to use the wired connection to update & upgrade the Pi 3.

See the version below:
Linux raspberry_Pi3 4.4.13-v7+ #894 SMP Mon Jun 13 13:13:27 BST 2016 armv7l GNU/Linux.

Try this command:

Code: Select all

iwlist scan
Does the output show some available wifi access point?.

If that's a cut'n'paste from your RPi then watch out for those wonky quote characters.

Code: Select all

ssid=¨My_SSID¨
psk=¨SSID_Password¨ 
needs to change to

Code: Select all

ssid="My_SSID"
psk="SSID_Password"

You are right. Double quotes were wrong. The WiFi is up and running now.

Thank you for your help.
