Pi ZeroW wont connect to WiFi

Post by KD5PQJ »

I too start with boot file with two Network brackets so that it can switch between routers attachment (3)
checking for fail by going to configuration and pulling up the edit I see a name not in the boot wpa_suppliment attachment (4)
switch to edit in the expert wifi section and move the # from the right line to bad line attachment (5) and still no fix....
suggest feature EYEBALL like Microsoft uses for seeing/decryption of password/names

are there bugs to be reported here as can someone else dup this?

AH, I do see that I failed in the expert mode of moving the # sign! That will not happen again until memory goes.
But my next question is why in (4) the one that is broken shows encoded while the one working is clear text?
they should be both encoded or plain text right?

Yes I understand about (5) and not editing, but (4) is after a boot encoding of (3) and that should be the same Plain text for both or same
Hex coding for both. (5) was after I changed the # and is my bad but it didn't do the encoding to generate the config seeing in (4) this is after boot of (3) and no error would have shown in (5) except for my change and wouldn't explain why wifi misses on one after boot. I should have shot the screen before edit as it looked good but different that switching between position (4) and (5) in the configuration screens. In 7 hours I will know as it is
card test time for the 3rd start over.
