Raspberry pi 3 wlan config.. Help appreciated.

[DutchHans]

Hello all,
I don't know much about raspberry pis, i have a raspberry 1 running and want to switch to rasberry pi3.. Because i want everything stored on the attic where theres no network.. But i have no clue how to configure wlan on a raspberry pi3.. Ive tried startx but this command is unknown.. Command line wlan configuration as described on rasberry pi.org is not working with Domoticz..

All help from specialists is welcome.

Thank you in advance.
Cheers, Hans

Tried that, but no ipaddress..

Got it working, but Domoticz startup ipaddress still stays empty.. When you attach a network cable it shows the ipaddress.. On wlan it stays blank.. A bug?

Cheers, Hans

Hi
be sure to have made an update-upgrade of the lastest version.
in internationalization Options of "raspi-config", you have to choice the country for Wifi.

I have wlan working on a pi3

edit the interfaces file using this command:
sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces

and add the following lines:
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet manual
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf


Then edit the wpa config file with this command:
sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf

My file looks like this:
country=US
ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1

network={
ssid="your ssid"
psk="your wifi password"
key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
}


I had static IP working on my older Pi model B, but it didn't work on the pi3.
I had to setup the static IP in my router instead.

Just to add to randytsuch's excellent reply, you can issue the command

Code: Select all

iwlist wlan0 scan

to find out which access points can be seen.
